Notes:
Examines Scotland's economy based on its staple industries and attempts to explain why, when these industries declined, other industries did not emerge in the 20th century to fill the void especially regarding employment. Also examines why after 1945 change in the Scottish economy's structure 'brought no guarantee of stability'. This forms part of a five volume publication containing teaching and learning materials [Vols I & 2 commissioned essays, Vols 3 & 4 reader articles reprinted from elsewhere, Vol 5 transcriptions of documents] as an aid to undergraduate studies in modern Scottish history, notably at Dundee and the Open Universities
