Description
The British Welfare State: A Critical History by John Brown This book provides a critical and comprehensive study of the modernization of social policy in Britain. It examines the development of the welfare state from its establishment in the 1940s, through the Liberal innovations in social policy before 1914 to the collapse of full employment in the 1970s. Recent historical research has shed new light on the aims, interests and forces that shaped the development of the British welfare state. Brown's analysis offers a nuanced understanding of the complex factors that have influenced its evolution over time. By exploring the key events and debates that have shaped the modernization of social policy in Britain, this book provides a valuable insight into the workings of the welfare state and its ongoing impact on society today.
