Keynes, Beveridge and Beyond

Presenting a coherent interpretation of the development of economic and social policy in Britain since 1945, this book analyses the political assumptions underlying post-war economic policy. It traces these assumptions through the classic texts of Keynes and Beveridge, the architects of limited, non-socialist state intervention to secure the welfare state and full employment.

Topics covered include:
•'Private saving' versus company pensions
•The level and composition of employment in Britain
