This book re-examines early twentieth-century British welfare
economics in the context of the emergence of the welfare state.
There are fresh views of the well-known Cambridge School of
Sidgwick, Marshall, Pigou, and Keynes, by Peter Groenewegen, Steven
G. Medema, and Martin Daunton. This is placed against a less
well-known Oxford approach to welfare: Yuichi Shionoya explores its
foundations in the idealist philosophy of T. H. Green; Roger E.
Backhouse considers the work of its leading exponent, J. A. Hobson;
and Tamotsu Nishizawa discusses the spread of this approach in
Britain. Finally, the book covers welfare economics in the policy
arena: Maria Cristina Marcuzzo and Atsushi Komine discuss Keynes
and Beveridge, and Richard Toye points to the possible influence of
H. G. Wells on Churchill and Lloyd George. A substantial
introduction frames the discussion, and a postscript relates these
ideas to the work of Robbins and subsequent developments in welfare
economics.
