The Reinvention of Britain 1960-2016 explores the transformation of
contemporary Britain, tracing its evolution from the welfare state
of the post-1945 era to social democracy in the 1960s and 1970s and
the liberal market society of 1979 onwards. Focusing primarily on
political and economic change, it aims to identify which elements
of State policy led to the crucial strategy changes that shaped
British history over the past six decades. This book argues that
since 1960 there have been two reinventions of the political
economy of the United Kingdom: a social-democratic shift initiated
by the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan and developed by
Labour under Harold Wilson, and a subsequent change of direction
towards a free market model attempted by the Conservatives under
Margaret Thatcher. Structured around these two key policy
reinventions of the late twentieth century, chapters are organized
chronologically, from the development of social democracy in the
early 1960s to the coalition government of the early 2010s, the
Conservative election win that followed and the 'Brexit' referendum
of 2016. Providing a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to
the political and economic history of this period, The Reinvention
of Britain 1960-2016 is essential reading for all students of
contemporary British history.
