"We have had spurts of fast growth and they have always petered out.... we are determined not to let this happen again." (Anthony Barber's Budget 1973)

The Government is staking everything on a dash for economic freedom and our economy is growing at a rate higher than at any time since the war. But success has its problems - skilled labour is short and factory space is already at a premium. Yet the growth rate which creates those difficulties for us is normal in the rest of Europe and Japan. What are the limits to our growth? Has British industry enough of the four Ms - men, money, machines and materials?
