This classic study clearly sets out the story of changing political attitudes towards the problem of poverty in Britain from the 1880s, and describes in detail the legislative attempts to deal with it in the first decade of the twentieth century. Focusing on social legislation such as health and unemployment insurance, old age pensions and the improvemnt of basic school standards, Gilbert demonstrates that there were both political and philanthropic motivations for chnage following the breakdown of hte deterrent Poor Law. The fear of socialism; the political profit to be gained from welfare legislation; the "condition of the people question", and the immediate concern of the poor physical condition of the Boer War recruits - all ensured the problems of poverty were tackled by the establishment of the socical insurance.

Britain 1914-1945: The Aftermath of Power (European History Series) (Keyboard Magazine Library for Electronic Musicians)
(A critical essay on the declining economic and military g...)
A critical essay on the declining economic and military greatness of Britain after World War I. The banking and industrial institutions that made Britain financially rock solid had been fatally weakened. Yet too many financiers and politicians were loathe to make accommodations for Britain's weakened state, and the country's voting population was generally unaware of the situation. Thus Britain continued diplomatically to play the part of a first-class world power, trying to impose a European settlement upon Germany, acting as the policeman of Europe, and telling the United States that its help was not needed. This was not only a bluff, it was self-deception. Gilbert's critical analysis concludes with an examination of wartime politics, the effects of wartime civil defense activities on the postwar welfare states, and the astonishing defeat of Winston Churchill.
