In the Beveridge Lecture, delivered on 18 March 1999, Prime
Minister Tony Blair committed his government to abolishing child
poverty within 20 years. He concluded that the present-day welfare
state is not fitted to the modern world, and laid out his vision
for a welfare state for the 21st century. Blair's vision, grounded
in a particular conception of social justice, is perhaps as
challenging as the blueprint laid down by Beveridge. Ending child
poverty presents Blair's Beveridge Lecture alongside the views of
some of Britain's foremost policy analysts and commentators. This
unique collection makes it possible to not only read the ideas of
leading current thinkers in this critical area of policy, but also
to compare them with the Prime Minister's lecture, and to see which
ideas he himself took up and in what form. Ending child poverty is
a record of not only the Lecture itself, but also of the ideas
available to government and their influence on its leader at an
important moment in the formation of policy. It provides a rich
tapestry on analysis, insight and reflection that will, it is to be
hoped, stimulate critical debate about the future shape of British
welfare. This collection is essential reading for anyone interested
in the future of modern society and politics and provides an
accessible handbook for undergraduate students of politics, social
policy and sociology.
