Summary
The founding of the welfare state in the 1940s was one of the crowning achievements of modern British history, or was it? This book advances the argument that however well-meaning its founders, the welfare state has in reality done more harm than good. The thesis of this book is that Britain would have been better off without the welfare state.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
A fully updated edition of a controversial book suggesting that Britain's welfare state, including National Health Service, social security, education, pensions, and housing, has caused tens of thousands of people to live deprived and even depraved lives, and has undermined the very decency that first inspired it.
