Oil and the British Economy

Stephen Hall Fred Atkinson, 2016

Overview

This book thoroughly examines the impact of North Sea oil and gas on the British economy. It investigates the paradox of recession and unemployment during the early 1980s, a period when oil production reached self-sufficiency and beyond. The study offers comparative insights by contrasting British government policy with that of Norway, the Netherlands, Venezuela, Australia, and Japan. Furthermore, it delves into critical issues such as long-term energy policy.
