Description
This work is concerned with the way in which education, both academic and vocational is intertwined with economic performance and the achievements or otherwise of managers in Britain. The book traces a concern about the educational standards of "artisans" and the consequences for the economic performance of the country from the 17th century. The author points out that the educational and training disparities between British workers and continental ones have existed for many years, draws conclusions as to the serious economic consequences of our educational and vocational attitudes and asks "Why didn't we do better?".
