Wales - A Twentieth Century Tragedy?

Sir Simon Jenkins presents a challenging personal view of the economics of contemporary Wales.

Beginning with the premise that Wales began the twentieth century rich and ended it poor, Simon talks to a variety of people -- historians, economists, entrepreneurs -- about Wales' problems and possibilities -- in the past, the present and the future.
