First sentence: THE intellectual and political dominance of liberal ideas in the United States and Britain is incontestable.
Description: This study considers examples of social policy in Britain and the US that conflict with liberal democratic ideals. It looks at the eugenic arguments in the 1920/30s, the use of work camps in the 1930s and work-for-welfare programmes since the 1980s.
