First published in 1976, Interwar Britain presents a highly readable and up-to-date account of a crucial period in modern British history. The major economic and social issues, ranging from economic growth and policy to social welfare and housing, are examined in detail, and full account is taken both of recent research and of the important areas of ignorance.
The emphasis, however, is upon interpretation and analysis rather than detail, and a new and illuminating approach is presented in dealing with many of the leading problems of the period, particularly unemployment and labour relations.
The book will be of major interest to students of economic history, social policy, and to all concerned to know more about the economic and social influences which have shaped modern Britain.
