15 Preface Like a good fashion, industrial subsidies have fallen out of use and few will admit to ever having liked them. In their heyday these subsidies extended to virtually every area of industrial and economic policy, but, as we know, they were cut back in the 1980s as the government sought to disengage from industrial intervention. The time is ripe for an appraisal, and in this book we review the United Kingdom experience of industrial subsidies. There are two main reasons for this. First, while there exist numerous accounts of industrial subsidies as practised in the UK context, there has been as yet no attempt to tackle the subject of industrial subsidies in the round. Studies focus on the application of the subsidies to different areas of policy - such as national economic growth objectives, stability purposes, support for ailing companies and national champions, spatial development, direct labour market interventions and sectoral adjustment - but almost treat these as distinct topics. Part of our purpose is to draw these disparate accounts together, since it is often the case that the application and expansion of subsidy in one area of policy can best be seen in the light of past and ongoing efforts in other areas, so that the different interventions often serve as complements or substitutes for one another, As a second reason for writing this book it is equally clear that existing commentaries on industrial subsidies almost exclusively focus on the 1960s and 1970s, when the subsidies were applied most intensively. Part of our purpose is to examined the origins of this assistance, so that we trace the development of industrial intervention back to the First World War and before, and to consider the withdrawal from industrial support in the 1980s, which similarly has been something of a neglected area. Contrary to popular belief, small-scale subsidies continue to operate, and include financial assistance to particular firms, such as small firms; to certain industries, such as civil aviation; and for some technologies, such as information technology. It seems useful to have a single and wideranging account of the UK experience of industrial subsidies, but given the broad scope of the book we are unable to give full attention to all the related evaluative material, although the extent to which much of this subsidy was, and perhaps remains, unevaluated is remarkable. Nevertheless, if industrial subsidies should ever come back into fashion, then it is hoped that this book can provide a better appreciation of the UK experience of this policy instrument. xv
