Business is the wealth generator of the UK, and small and family businesses are the often neglected heart of the UK economy, with family businesses alone employing nearly four in ten of the UK’s workforce. We propose ways to make the UK an economy all businesses can thrive in.
Employment Examined
The Department of Employment should supply monthly data for the number in work in Britain as well as the number out of work.
Distant Views
When a proposition has become universally acceptable to political commentators, writers of letters to MPs, media pundits and school-teachers taking current affairs classes, it is a very likely indication hat the proposition in question is, or has become, false.
Business Still Burdened
We look to small businesses and the self-employed to produce growth, employment and wealth. In Britain today about six million people work for small firms.
Work of the Study Groups
The Centre for Policy Studies engages in two sorts of activities – the proposal and elaboration of policies which are worthy of pursuit, and the influencing of opinion so as to secure support for them.

Owners All

New Light on Star Wars
Serious discussion about the strategic defence initiative in space began in the United States in the late 1960s.
Nationalised Industries
This study was prepared for the Nationalised Industries Study Group of the Centre for Policy studies by Trevor Morse.
Monetarism Morality
It is a very great privilege to be invited to give this lecture in memory of Patrick Hutber.
Greening the Tories
This study springs from what has been fashionably regarded as a Neurosis. Let me label this ‘neurosis’ as the nervous, defensive, even backward looking search for a new Englishness. It has a suitably journalistic and sociological ring about it.
Gentrification or Growth
Traditionally there have been two main systems which can lead to prosperity and vigorous civilisation. One is based on imperial conquest. That is the Roman way and the way proposed by the Soviet Russia.
