The Policy-making Process (1969) studies the relationships between the Conservative Government of 1956 and the organised industrial groups that were considered its natural allies in the aftermath of the Restrictive Trade Practices Act of 1956. This Act reflected a long-standing belief in Britain that the degree of competition and the efficient uses of resources are closely related, and acted against the long-established practices of certain industrial trade associations.
