The Social Contract has been described by some opponents as 'fantasy' others regard it as just another name for wage restraint. The Government sees it as the cornerstone of its economic strategy, and 'an essay in the politics of persuasion.'
How effective has the Social Contract been so far? What changes are we likely to see in the coming months? John Vaizey examines the strengths and weaknesses in the pact between Government and Unions.
