Description
In the nineteen-eighties Mrs Margaret Thatcher’s Government had a little help from the business sector with the implementation of crucial employment and training policies. In a deliberately mischievous and indirect way this book relates how non-government agents went about this work. But this is not a boring record of events. What the writer has done is to take a fictitious village community, with vibrant characterizations drawn from all levels of such a typical society. Laced with stories of country people’s mostly innocent attempts at enterprise and innovation, and told with wry humour, the possible effects of well-intentioned government policies on the chosen community unfold
