The North Sea-Saw
There are two sides to
North Sea oil wealth. One is the money it brings: four billion pounds to the Government this year alone from special oil taxes. But there are also bad effects on ordinary industry. Mary Goldring asks whether we can avoid these by learning from the mistakes of other countries that have also ridden the North Sea-Saw.
