  • Steel an Irreversible Decline ?
    10 June 1981 Marxism Today John Kelly Steel an irreversible decline ? In its Ten Year Development Strategy published in 1973, the British the new Tory government in 1951, and the industry was then Steel Corporation estimated that in 1980 it would produce 36-38 denationalised in 1953.3 million tonnes of steel per annum. It actually produced just 11.4 From 1940 onwards the structural weaknesses of the industry — in million tonnes, only one third of its plan target. In those seven particular the dispersion of production amongst a large number of intervening years the industry has been run down at an almost small, old and independently owned plants — were masked by a unprecedented rate. Steel plants throughout the country have been sustained period of buoyant demand during the war, the period of closed; over 100,000 steel workers have lost their jobs; steel towns like reconstruction, and the postwar boom. Nevertheless the rate of profit Shotton and Corby have been devastated; and import penetration in did decline, from 15% (1956), 14.2% (1960) to 6.1% in 1964, and one steel has nearly doubled.1 To this bleak picture must be added the response by the steel capitalists was a long overdue increase in capital decline of several other major British steel-using industries. Imports investment from £93m in 1956 to a peak of £207m in 1961, with a fall of cars, refrigerators, washing machines, radios, cutlery and hand off to £77m in 1963. This increased investment in the late 1950s failed tools have grown dramatically in the 1970s.
