Every year, because of her slow rate of economic growth. Britain falls a little further behind the main industrial nations. Economists and sociologists have sought to increase our rate of growth by a series of simple nostrums: all we need is more exports, or S.E.T., or more capital investment, or more planning, or more technologists. or more management schools. Russell Lewis suggests that there is in fact no easy way for a nation to get rich quick and that the simple notions of some economists have done more harm than good.
