This is the fifteenth edition of the classic text on the UK economy, originally known as Prest and Coppock.

Written by a team of specialist economists and now edited by Malcolm Sawyer, it combines factual information and informed analysis in the single most accessible guide to the character, problems, and performance of the British economy.
