This book moves analysis beyond outmoded tropes of economic decline and industrial catastrophe, and instead examines the political economy of deindustrialisation with a sharp eye on cultural and social dimensions that were not uniformly negative, as often assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eViewing the long-term process of deindustrialisation through a moral economy framework, the book carefully reconstructs the impact of economic change on social class, gender relations and political allegiances, including a reawakened sense of Scottish national identity. In doing so, it reveals deindustrialisation as a more complex process than the customary body count of closures and job losses suggests, and demonstrates that socioeconomic change did not just happen, but was influenced by political agency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJim Phillips is Professor in Economic \u0026amp; Social History at the University of Glasgow, and author of \u003ci\u003eScottish Coal Miners in the Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e (Edinburgh University Press, 2019). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValerie Wright is Research Associate in History the University of Glasgow, and co-author of \u003ci\u003eHigh-Rise Homes, Estates and Communities in the Post-War Period\u003c\/i\u003e (Routledge: London, 2020). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJim Tomlinson is Professor in Economic \u0026amp; Social History at the University of Glasgow, and author of \u003ci\u003eManaging the Economy, Managing the People.
