I have a fascinating book called "The Pride And The Fall" by Correlli
Barnett. Subtitled "the dreams and illusion of Britain as a great nation".
In it he breaks down the major industries and where they failed.
The single thing I remember most were the shipbuilders during World War
Two. Whilst America was building Victory ships at one a day to send over
...They were on STRIKE !!!!!!!!
Why?
They wanted extra pay for training the newbies in the yards.
We never freakin learn and humans never change.

I particularly liked the comment about how the workers hate the managers
because they used to hire workers who would work for less money.
