SEVEN YEARS have passed since we left London and sent the original manuscript for this book to the publisher. Food and petrol were selling at one-half their present price, and inflation was only one third as high as it would be two years later.

In the corridors of Whitehall, civil servants were quietly preparing for the next round of private bargaining on public spending.
