The Welfare Revolution of the early 20th century did not start with
Clement Attlee's Labour governments of 1945 to 1951 but had its
origins in the Liberal government of forty years earlier. The
British Welfare Revolution, 1906-14 offers a fresh perspective on
the social reforms introduced by these Liberal governments in the
years 1906 to 1914. Reforms conceived during this time created the
foundations of the Welfare State and transformed modern Britain;
they touched every major area of social policy, from school meals
to pensions, the minimum wage to the health service. Cooper uses an
innovative approach, the concept of the Counter-Elite, to explain
the emergence of the New Liberalism and examines the research that
was carried out to devise ways to meet each specific social problem
facing Britain in the early 20th century. For example, a group of
businessmen, including Booth and Rowntree, invented the poverty
survey to pinpoint those living below the poverty line and
encouraged a new generation of sociologists. This comprehensive
single volume survey presents a new critical angle on the origins
of the British welfare state and is an original analysis of the
reforms and the leading personalities of the Liberal governments
from the late Edwardian period to the advent of the First World
War.
