In Social-Imperialism in Britain Neil Redfern examines the
relationship between British labour and British capital in the two
world wars of the twentieth century. He argues that the Second
World War, the so-called 'People's War,' was an imperialist war no
less than the First. He further argues that in both wars labour and
capital entered into a social-imperialist contract in which labour
would be rewarded for its support for war with such social and
political reforms as votes for women and a health service,
culminating in the 'welfare state' constructed after the Second
World War. Concentrating on Lancashire, he examines the complex
interaction between military successes and reverses, elite war
aims, labour unrest and popular demands for reform.
