Reseña del editor:

Has the modern Conservative Party developed a distinctive approach to the post-war welfare state? In exploring this question, this accessible book takes an authoritative look at Conservative Party policy and practice in the modern era. The book's time-defined content and broad historical thread make it a valuable resource for academics and students in social policy and politics as well as social history.
