Abstract

The British Gross National Product is only three times that of Sweden, although our population is eight times larger. West Germany's GNP is twice ours, although her population is only a tenth larger. France, with a smaller population than our own, has a GNP more than half as much again. And the gap between us and the others has been widening ever more rapidly over the last two decades. This is the measure of our failure as an industrial and commercial nation.
