Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
'The first comprehensive study of government intervention in the Welsh economy in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, this book presents a searching analysis and evaluation of the changing nature of regional economic policy in Wales and its achievements and limitations. Richly detailed, engaging and often punchy and thought-provoking, it has been meticulously researched, drawing on a range of quantitative and qualitative sources as well as interviews with key personnel. Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Wales in the twentieth century as well as in Wales's present-day economic profile and the interactions between its politics, governance and economic policy.' - Professor Bill Jones, Cardiff University
