Originally published in 1965, this book subjected the economic performance of Scotland to close examination. The progress of the Scottish economy from 1951 to 1960 was assessed in quantitative terms and estimates provided of Scottish gross domestic product, income from employment, gross profits and other economic statistics. Chapters are devoted to output and investment in manufacturing in industry and to personal income and expenditure. The results showed the extent to which the Scottish economy lagged behind the rest of the UK, especially during the latter part of the decade.
The intention of this book is to give a picture of the complex material that has been published in the field of social and econornic statistics in Western Europe. Although there are many guides, bibliographies and reference books on special topics of this broad theme, a general overview has been missing. With this book I hope to fill this gap. The frame of reference is a scientific one: enabling and facilitating comparative social research on Western Europe. In some respect this book enlarges and updates the bibliography written by Peter Flora, "Quantitative Historical Sociology", pub lished in "Current Sociology" in 1975. In principle, this guide is an annotated bibli ography of the most important printed material in the field of official statistics. The legitimacy of such an approach lies in the fact that even today printed statistics are the most important form of dissemination of statistical results, although microcom puters, CD-ROMs and the Internet have changed this situation. In any case, a spe cial section on statistical databases is included for every country, describing the main databases of the statistical offices. Furthermore, the Internet address of each international or national statistical institute is provided in the introductory para graph. This enables the reader to get fast access to online databases and supple mentary online information on statistics via the Internet.

This study explores the economic case for Scotland's continued union with the UK.The growth of political support for the Scottish National Party during the past twenty years has generated substantial debate in Scotland about the relative virtues of independence or continued union with the United Kingdom. The exploitation of Scotland's oil from the 1970's provided an economic basis for the case for independence. This book explores the case for union, devolution or independence on economic grounds.
