In this volume Europe's leading industrial economists explore the theoretical basis for industrial policy in Europe and practical proposals for making industrial development happen. They approach the subject on a micro-, macro- and meso- level. After a decade or more of privatisation and deregulation there is a growing consensus that government can have a positive role in promoting industrial development. This book explores a variety of ways in which this might be made to happen. A common theme is the need for participation at the appropriate level: too often industrial policy has been hampered by overcentralised decision-making. Containing contributions by some of Europe's leading industrial economists, Industrial Policy for Europe covers subjects from small business to macroeconomics.
