Routledge The London School of Economics (Works of William H. Beveridge): And Its Problems 1919-1937

Product Description The eighteen years when William Beveridge was Director of the LSE, saw some of the School’s greatest expansion. The years between the wars presented a number of problems discussed in this book, such as those of finding space in the heart of London, of the proper scope and method of economics, of academic self-government and of political activity by university readers of social sciences. The last chapter tells of the author’s forty years of friendship with Sidney and Beatrice Webb, using letters between him and them that had not been published before publication of this book in 1960. Review 'With his accustomed grasp of a wide subject, with notable lucidity, Beveridge sets out the needs that remain in the social security State...' Evening Standard
