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.

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.
