Synopsis:

Social historians describe welfare delivery systems prior to 1948.

Review: Britain's Institute of Economic Affairs, one of the world's leading organisations that analyses welfare, has ... performed a service with this collection of five article ... that look at various aspects of the British welfare debate between 1870 and 1940. -- Philanthropy, 03/04.99

If [Friendly Societies'] involvement in providing welfare up to 1948 has vanished totally from the public mind, as until recently seemed to be the case, this book is part of the process of putting the record straight and reminding people of the true cost of nationalising welfare. -- Friendly Face, 02.99

This is not just a book for history swots... Each of the chapters tells a story which ends before the 1942 Beveridge Report, yet each is more than relevant to the present attempts at welfare reform. Indeed, there are a number of lessons here which even now it is not too late for the Government to learn. -- The Independent, 4.06.99
