The 1970s: What Went Wrong?
In the last decade all our economic certainties were turned upside down. Governments appeared no longer to control inflation, unemployment or public spending. So, what went wrong? In a co-production with America's leading business programme, Wall Street Week, Peter Hobday in London and Louis Rukeyser in Baltimore, talk to The Rt Hon Edward Heath , mp, William Simon , former us Treasury Secretary, and leading experts in Tokyo, Bonn and the Middle East. They will be asking if we could have coped any better with the energy crisis; done more to keep down inflation and why so many people in the industrialised world found themselves out of a job.
The 1980s look like starting with a world-wide recession; if we are to keep it at bay what lessons can we learn from the last ten years?
