Sunshades in October (1963) argues that under certain circumstances economic domestic restraint will in fact do precisely the opposite. This went against British economic policy of the time, based on the assumption that a restraint on domestic demand must always serve, in some measure, to ease the problems of securing sufficient exports and of containing cost inflation.
