{"product_id":"social-welfare-in-britain-1885-1985-rex-pope-9780709940357","title":"Social Welfare in Britain 1885-1985","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection of documents follows the same format as Pope and Hoyle's British Economic Performance (1984), to provide a survey of the main developments in social welfare. Students of economic and social history and of social policy and administration are being required to do more and more work with original documents, and this collection is tailored to meet their needs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe primary sources are presented in two sections, covering the periods 1885-c. 1940 and c. 1940 to 1985. During the former, ideas on, and the scope of, welfare provision, broadened greatly. There was a sense of progress. Developments though were piecemeal. There was no conception of a 'Welfare State'. The second period begins with the changes associated with the assumption that Britain was establishing a Welfare State. But the hopes of 1940 have not been fulfilled, and there has been growing speculation about the value of such an organisation of society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe extracts reflect these changes. They are grouped under the headings to facilitate reference. Students at all levels, especially A-level, first degree and professional training courses, will find the book a valuable resource. Materials included are drawn from minutes of evidence, newspapers, political party publications and professional bodies and groups. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rex Pope,Alan Prat,Bernard Hoyle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0709940351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780709940357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.82w x 0.70d","brand":"Rex Pope","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136147861759,"sku":"9780709940357","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb59837f-0f0f-4f76-a43a-9652e260c283.jpg?v=1770160829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-welfare-in-britain-1885-1985-rex-pope-9780709940357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
