First sentence: British interwar economic performance has been viewed in both optimistic and pessimistic terms.
Description: This volume focuses on two major periods of British history: the interwar period and postwar Britain. The authors compare and contrast developments in growth, welfare, industry, labor, social policy, and the economy during these two distinct periods. The book provides an end-of-century review of both progress and decline, while outlining the background essential to understand current polemics and areas of major concern. Invaluable for students of twentieth-century British history.
