Produktbeschreibung
First published in 1988, this book analyses the changes that took place in the economic organisation of the British construction industry throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, in particular considering its social and economic structure and examining the causes of its poor industrial record. Michael Ball describes how the major firms survived the economic slump between 1973 and 1982 - when construction workloads collapsed - by substantially restructuring their operations, relationships with clients, workforces and subcontractors. Detailed attention is paid to construction firms, the workers they employ, the influence of trade unionism and the role of other agencies in the building process. Reissued at a particularly challenging time for the British construction industry, this relevant and practical title will be of value to students and academics of economics and social change, as well as those on courses for construction professionals.

These encounters fuel his writing, which delves into the gritty realities of hidden worlds, the tough decisions made by the few for the good of the many, and the power of resilience and determination over intellect or skill.Through his stories, Michael explores themes of resilience and agency, always reminding readers, "It is never too dark to dream, nor too late to step foot on your own path."
