Title: The National Debt
Description: Slater vividly recounts the story of the UK national debt and how attempts to manage it explain many key turning-points in British history. In today's "austerity era," the national debt is newsworthy once again. But this phenomenon, while central to today's politics, can be a highly technical subject. Few people fully understand its implications. This book is written for the lay reader who is not well versed in economics.
