Britain's Industrial Future being the Report of the Liberal Industrial Inquiry.

£300 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

The famous report of the Liberal Party’s Industrial Inquiry of 1928. It proposed a substantial increase in the role of the state in industry, and can be seen as part of the move by the Liberal Party, started three decades earlier, away from classical laissez-faire liberalism towards modern, interventionist liberalism. John Maynard Keynes was a central figure of the committee, and a major influence on the report. The report was also issued simultaneously in yellow paper wrappers, leading it to be known as the Liberal ‘Yellow Book’. The present example is the hardback issue, complete with the rare original printed dust jacket.
