What I mean by this is was it money that had been borrowed from the US after the war to rebuild Britain, which in effect created a false economy. When Wilson became PM he was noted for saying "we never had it so good" and in a sense this is true. Britain has only just paid the US back debts from WW2 (although ,we still owe them money from WW1 which we have never mentioned or paid back). What I would like to know is was the sixties economic situation false in terms of the knock on effect it had during the seventies, ie: union strikes etc.. eighties false boom and recession etc.
I am not sure if I have this right or not so any information would be most helpful.
Regards
