Description
The welfare state's origins are a gripping human story. From the Victorian workhouse to the post-war government's embrace of social responsibility, this major new history tells the tale of one of Britain's greatest intellectual and social transformations. Carefully argued and deftly balanced, with numerous little revelations, Chris Renwick's book explores how rational intervention by government reshaped society in the early twentieth century.
