Abstract

British Labor's Hopes: Gaitskell's Management
McKenzie, R. T. | September 22, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the failure of the British Labor party as a political force. In defiance of Socialist predictions made during the election of 1951, British Conservative Party government maintained both the welfare state and full employment. Simultaneously, they dismantled some of the forms of physical controls, of which from the electoral point of view the abolition of food rationing was the most important. Inequality between the social classes increased slightly but against the back of living in which they shared, the working classes were undisturbed.
