In: UK Higher Education OUP Humanities and Social Sciences Sociology Ser.
What was the impact of the Second World War on the development of the welfare state? Did Attlee's pioneering post-war Labour governments create the welfare state and a socialist society? This title provides an account of the British welfare state after 1940. It re-examines commonly held assumptions about the post-war welfare state.
