Local government passed unscathed through the political and
economic upheavals which followed the Great Depression.
Contemporary commentators had every reason to look forward to
continued growth and expansion in the role of local government,
which was seen as the main vehicle for the social programmes of the
comeing Welfare State. That optimism was misplaced. Many of the
trends of the early twentieth century have been reveresed. From the
vantage point of 1985, local government was in crisis so severe
that its continued existence was called into question. In this
unique book eleven authors explain what happened and how the local
government system weakened. Political, financial, economic and
legal issues are explored, as are factors such as housing,
planning, and social welfare. This book was first published in
1985.
