Deindustrialisation and the Moral Economy in Scotland Since 1955

Bag om Deindustrialisation and the Moral Economy in Scotland Since 1955

Exploring the social, cultural and political implications of deindustrialisation in 20th-century Scotland Deindustrialisation was a long-running process in Scotland, managed carefully by policy-makers in the 1960s and 1970s, and recklessly in the 1980s and 1990s. This book uses unpublished documentary sources from industrial sectors to relate Scottish Home Rule to long-running debates about economic security and working-class welfare, and examines the experiences of deindustrialisation in Scotland in terms of gender, class and community. Political and industrial changes are linked through a two-part integration of themes and case studies. Part One elaborates understanding of deindustrialisation: in global terms; within the moral economy framework; and as a phased and politicised phenomenon. Part Two examines the working-class moral economy of deindustrialisation in action through case studies: shipbuilding, with Fairfields shipyard in Govan; motor manufacturing, with the Linwood car plant in Renfrewshire; and watchmaking and electronics sub-assembly, with Timex in Dundee. The book concludes its long chronological sweep with an analysis of deindustrialisation since the 1990s. Jim Phillips is Professor in Economic and Social History at the University of Glasgow. Valerie Wright is Research Associate in History at the University of Glasgow. Jim Tomlinson is Professor in Economic and Social History at the University of Glasgow.
