Abstract

The interested reader, having worked through an eclectic combination of chapters of diverse style, approaches and opinions, could appropriately be considering the one question most feared by academics – so what? Recognising that knowledge and understanding are intrinsically important is one thing – wading through pages of detail mixed with polemic is quite another. This relatively short chapter will seek to identify threads from the previous chapters, and weave them together with a great deal of personal opinion in order to set out some possible solutions to the fundamental challenge that has dominated this book: how to engender the kind of shift in growth that will, in the medium term, place the typical citizen in Wales on a par in terms of living standards with their UK counterparts. That such an achievement has eluded Wales in the last century does not make this an unachievable task, but it does underline the seriousness of the challenge.
