When the Treasury lost control of interest rates to the Bank of England in 1997, its status looked under threat. However, it quickly reasserted its power by dominating policymaking across Whitehall and diminishing other ministries in the process. It also successfully fought off attempts by Prime Ministers, from Blair to Johnson, to cut it down to size. In this fascinating insider account, based on in-depth interviews with the Chancellors and key senior officials, Howard Davies shows how the past twenty-five years have nonetheless been a roller-coaster ride for the Treasury. Heavily criticized for its response to the global financial crisis, and for the rigours of the austerity programme, it also ran into political controversy through its role in the Scottish referendum and the Brexit debate. The Treasury’s dire predictions of the impact of Brexit have not been borne out. Redemption of a kind, though a costly one, came from its muscular response to the COVID crisis. Anyone with an interest in economic policymaking, in the UK and elsewhere, will find this a valuable and entertaining account.

A collapsing pound, spiralling oil prices, near-rationing of electricity... over the past half-century, Britain's economy has lurched from one crisis to another, though it somehow always survives or at least it has done until now. Veteran financial journalist William Keegan has seen it all, from the 1967 devaluation to the three-day week, from Black Wednesday to the global financial crash of 2007-08. In a career that has seen him hop from Fleet Street to the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street and back again, he has nurtured connections with Chancellors of the Exchequer, Governors of the Bank of England, influential economists and Fleet Street legends. Now, in this lively and wide-ranging account, he takes us on a tumultuous journey through the past fifty years of our economic history and looks ahead to explain why Brexit poses the biggest existential threat the British economy has yet faced. Peppered with anecdotes and memories from the author's illustrious career, Nine Crises offers a fresh insight into Britain's past, present and future for economic expert and novice alike.

The Politics of Crisis is an interpretation of the most dramatic periods of modern British political history - the decade and a half between 1931 and 1945. Formed to sustain the British economy in the midst of the Great Depression, the National Governments of the 1930s achieved this and more, and electoral popularity unmatched since. Yet the conventional wisdom about those Governments is full of the unemployment that they inherited, as it is of the image of Neville Chamberlain trying and failing to buy peace from Hitler at Munich. For then comes the Second World War and Winston Churchill and victory of a kind for Britain, and a curious form of domestic politics that, with peace restored, witnesses the victor turned out of office. The Politics of Crisis clinically assesses the evidence and these events and provides a challenging and new interpretation of them.

This book explores the crisis of the British state. Though it has been particularly apparent since the outcome of both the 2014 Scottish independence and 2016 ‘Brexit’ referendums, it stems from deep historical roots. The book traces the origins of the state to the original Act of Union of 1707 and demonstrates how different notions of British destiny - Protestant, imperial, social democratic – have held the state together at different times. The present crisis, it is argued, is due to the exhaustion of these senses of destiny. Moran shows how the United Kingdom is now held together as a militarised state prone to disastrous adventures like the invasion of Iraq, and concludes by examining some alternative futures for the state. This book will appeal to students, scholars and the general reader interested in British politics and political history.

In 1880 the British empire was at its peak of stability. no other people ¿ not rome,nor spain nor russia ¿ had spread their power so substantially over all fivecontinents. And yet within less than a century, the vast imperial system had crumbledleaving the Commonwealth as the mere ghost of its predecessor.in this groundbreaking new study, David nicholson asks if this decline wasinevitable, or ¿ had Britain¿s rulers taken different decisions, encouraged trendsor sought to prevent them ¿ whether the strength and cohesion of the empirecould have been maintained. He examines, in particular, a series of turning pointswhich he believes to have been crucial to this process: the failure to deal withirish Home rule; over-extension in Africa; the failure to adopt Tariff reform; theBritish inability to reach an accommodation with germany before the first WorldWar; the strategic and tactical mistakes of the great War culminating in overextensionin the Middle east and ignoring of warnings about a one-sided interpretationof the Balfour Declaration; the errors in the build-up to the secondWorld War and its opening phase, especially those leading to the break withJapan and italy. David nicholson traces the real damage done by the 1939-45 War,leading to the final collapse of British power in india, then the Middle east and finallyin Africa, as well as the weakening of the links with the ¿old Commonwealth¿.He asks, provocatively, if the empire had not failed would Britain havebeen so attracted by membership of the european Community.Crisis of the British Empire:Turning Points After 1880 is a significant contributionto imperial studies and should be required reading for anyone wishing tounderstand Britain¿s position in the world on the brink of Brexit.
