The feel-good place to buy books
British Social Welfare in the Twentieth Century by Robert Page
This major thematic and historical overview provides a clear guide to key welfare practices and developments in the public, private, voluntary and informal welfare sectors in twentieth-century Britain, outlining the dominant ideas about welfare in the period in question. As such, it offers an effective bridge between historical and contemporary concerns, drawing out some of the more rarely articulated premises of courses in the history of social policy and illuminating the social, political and economic dimensions of its subject.
'..in its conception and structure the book fills one of those genuine gaps in the student market.' - Rodney Lowe, Cambridge University Journal
