This was the subject of his book "De-industrialisation and Foreign Trade" (CUP 1987), written jointly with the late John Wells and of a number of later articles. He was one of the first economists to argue that manufacturing employment in the UK was too large for its needs and that sustained economic growth would involve a transfer of people from manufacturing jobs into service employment. However, he now believes that the decline of manufacturing employment in the UK has been excessive, both in comparison with other country and in relation to our current needs. Professor Paul Stoneman
