Review: The Evolution of the British Welfare State: A History of Social Policy Since the Industrial Revolution

User Review  - Jan-Maat - Goodreads

I've read the second edition of this useful book which ends with the legislation of the first Labour government but begins with the factory legislation, the new Poor Law of 1832, legislation on worker's housing and takes in the legislation of the last Liberal government. Read full review
