( Beveridge defined full employment as a state where ther...)
Beveridge defined full employment as a state where there are slightly more vacant jobs than there are available workers, or not more than 3% of the total workforce. This book discusses how this goal might be achieved, beginning with the thesis that because individual employers are not capable of creating full employment, it must be the responsibility of the state. Beveridge claimed that the upward pressure on wages, due to the increased bargaining strength of labour, would be eased by rising productivity, and kept in check by a system of wage arbitration. The cooperation of workers would be secured by the common interest in the ideal of full employment. Alternative measures for achieving full employment included Keynesian-style fiscal regulation, direct control of manpower, and state control of the means of production. The impetus behind Beveridge's thinking was social justice and the creation of an ideal new society after the war. The book was written in the context of an economy which would have to transfer from wartime direction to peace time. It was then updated in 1960, following a decade where the average unemployment rate in Britain was in fact nearly 1.5%.

It is the author’s contention that an abundance of voluntary action outside the citizen’s home, both individually and collectively, for bettering his own and his fellows’ lives, are the distinguishing marks of a truly free society. This volume is a study of how such action can be kept alive in the face of the inevitable development of State action and suggests the new forms which co-operation between the State and voluntary Organizations may take, leaving a maximum of freedom and responsibility to the individual. Voluntary Action is a text of unique value because Beveridge here develops his vision of how a large ‘voluntary action’ sector could function as a type of buffer zone between the state and the market.

BEVERIDGE, William Henry was born in 1879 in Bengal, India.
During his first year at Balliol College, Oxford, he studied astronomy, but later changed to law and graduated in 1901.
While a Stowell Civil Law Fellow of University College, Oxford, 1902 to 1909, his interests again changed, and he turned to economics and sociology.
His early economic work on unemployment, his work as a civil servant, his directorship of the London School of Economics (1932-1937), and his scholarly work on the history of wages and prices, are all dwarfed by the wartime investigations on social insurance which resulted in the Beveridge Report of 1942. This document was the blueprint for the Labour government’s social legislation after 1945. Beveridge’s
work was the culmination of efforts begun by Beatrice Webb, with Beveridge’s assistance, in the Minority Report of the Royal Commission on the Poor Laws of 1909.
Fellow, University College Oxford, 1902-1909. Civil Servant, 1908-1919. Director, London School of Economies and Political Science, London, United Kingdom, 1919-1937.
Master, University College Oxford, 1937-1944.
