Which underlying problems pose the greatest threat to British
society in the 21st century? A hundred years after its
philanthropist founder identified poverty, alcohol, drugs and
gambling among the social evils of his time, the Joseph Rowntree
Foundation initiated a major consultation among leading thinkers,
activists and commentators, as well as the wider public. The
findings have now been brought together in this fascinating book.
Individual contributors range across the political spectrum but the
book also reports the results from a web survey and consultation
with groups whose voices are less often heard. The results suggest
that while some evils - like poverty - endure as undisputed causes
of social harm, more recent sources of social misery, such as an
alleged rise in selfish consumerism and a perceived decline in
personal responsibility and family commitment, attract controversy.
