DESCRIPTION:*Abstract: *The financial crisis and the recession that follow
 ed brought to an end the long economic boom of 1992-2008 and has led to mu
 ch debate as to how best to 'rebalance' the British economy both sectorall

 nce in the British economy\, especially in relation to the recurring debat
 e over the existence and persistence of a 'North-South' divide. The discus
 sion is based on research being undertaken as part of an ESRC-funded proje
 ct on How Regions React to Recession: Resilience\, Hysteresis and Long Run
  Impacts undertaken by Peter with Ben Gardiner Cambridge Econmetrics)\, Pr
 ofessor Ron Martin (Department of Geography\, University of Cambridge) and
