| Abstract: | Vested interests continue to present the Government with political obstacles to economic reform. Samuel Brittan suggests that a Grand Trade-Off is the only means by which liberalisation can be forced through. Three British commentators react to his proposition. The Editorial on pp.2 and 3 proposes a complementary policy. |
