First published in 1978, this book gathers an extensive range of
documents which illuminate the complex and important process by
which the State in Britain has taken on increased responsibility
for the health and welfare of its citizens. It uses extracts from a
variety of sources, including reports, debates, speeches, articles
and reviews, and commentary from leading figures of the period,
such as Disraeli, Dickens, Edwin Chadwick and Churchill. The book
begins with a discussion of the notion of an 'age of laissez-faire'
in the mid-nineteenth century, and an examination of the extent to
which the Liberal government embarked on a conscious policy of
'welfarism' between 1906 and 1914. The extracts themselves cover
the entire field of social policy, including factory legislation,
public health, housing, education, poverty, pensions and
unemployment. This book will be of interest to those studying the
history of social welfare and social policy.
