Abstract

The Climate Of Welfare
Lehmann, John | April 14, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

For English writers who stand at the start of their careers, the problems are not all atomic— some of them are economic, for industrial Britain has still not been able to adjust herself to a postwar world where, her rich reserves all drained away in fighting the Axis, her dependence on exports for sheer existence has been brutally uncovered. Again, the welfare state, her major achievement in civilized progress since 1945, has inevitably laid the emphasis on social security rather than on individual enterprise, on reconciliation rather than on interrogation and revolt.
