Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the global financial crisis and the ensuing recession, economic debate has begun to shift towards 'rebalancing' the UK economy, away from an over-reliance upon consumerism and the financial sector to generate growth, towards more sustainable productive activities. The fallout from the crisis exposed systemic failings to deliver balanced growth, and there is now increasing recognition that this 'rebalancing' might best be achieved through the state pursuing an active 'industrial policy'. This book offers a broad set of perspectives on the many facets of industrial policy.
