First published in 1987. This volume explores the inter-war
unemployment problem and the development of economic and social
policy in relation to that problem. Contemporary policies and
levels of unemployment can only be compared with the inter-war
period and in recent years economists and other commentators have
increasingly turned their attention to the 1930s. This book is
written by a group of expert historians and policy analysts who
have been in the forefront of recent research. In particular, new
insights into economic policy which have come from the release of
cabinet and departmental papers at The Public Record Office are
revealed. Recent economic theory is also taken into account and the
findings question established views on many grounds. New economic
lessons from the 1930s are suggested and some astonishing
similarities to the 1980s and demonstrated. This work will be
essential reading for students of modern British history and
economic and social history as well as economic policy and
government and politics.
