The location of industry and the depressed areas


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT MUCH is expected of the publications of the Economics Research Department of the University of Manchester, and if in some respects Prof. S. R. Dennison scarcely maintains that high


standard, he has at least given us a work which no serious student of the Special Areas and the problems they present can afford to overlook. His admirable and careful analysis of the work


of the Commissioners for the Special Areas, and appreciation of the results achieved and of the limitations inherent in either their work or policy, sets the problem in its true perspective


in relation to unemployment and industrial development generally. While he appears to ignore the experimental character of the Special Areas Act on which stress was laid when the legislation


was introduced, he recognizes that the Special Areas measures cannot continue indefinitely as they now operate, and that it will soon be necessary either to rescind them and leave the


problem as it is or to extend them. The Location of Industry and the Depressed Areas By Prof. S. R. Dennison. Pp. vii + 216. (London: Oxford University Press, 1939.) 10_s_. net. Access
