Abstract

"This book provides the definitive account of the making of the 1942 Beveridge Report and its influence on wartime and post-war social policy. The Beveridge Report: Blueprint for the Welfare State aims to offer a definitive analysis of the famous document, so influential in the founding of the National Health Service and other bodies and which still resonates in current debates about "getting back to Beveridge" and a "Beveridge for the 21st Century". It is based on extensive research into the papers of the Beveridge Committee, official Government archives and the papers of contemporary politicians and groups. Published to coincide with the Report's 80th anniversary, the book is treated as a case study in policy formulation during the 1940s. Key features of the book include The first systematic review and assessment of the work of the Beveridge committee and the evidence submitted to it Detailed analysis of the enthusiastic reception of the Report and the government's lukewarm attitude A full survey of the detailed planning for welfare reform and Beveridge's role when excluded from it An assessment of the influence of Beveridge upon the creation of the Welfare State by Attlee's Labour Government This important text would be of interest to scholars of 20th-century Great Britain, social history, political history and contemporary politics and comparative health and education systems"--

Abstract

Ce livre est l’histoire d’une entreprise oubliée : le Comité international d’histoire des prix. Si l’objet est d’intérêt, c’est que les échecs tout autant que les réussites nous renseignent sur le fonctionnement social. C’est aussi que l’on retrouve, autour de cette enquête faillie, des noms eux fort célèbres, et que l’on ne s’attendrait pas à rencontrer dans ce contexte – de Beveridge à Kautsky, de Bloch à Malinowski. Mais c’est surtout que cet objet s’avère idéal pour dépasser les frontières qui séparent aussi bien les traditions scientifiques nationales que les disciplines – entre histoire et économie, entre sociologie des sciences et épistémologie ; et, ce faisant, cette étude permet d’aborder une question aussi vaste que s’est voulu restreint le propos initial. C’est en effet la production d’une classe particulière de faits, les faits considérés comme scientifiques, qu’il s’agit de comprendre, et ceci en tenant compte, parmi les forces à l’oeuvre dans la détermination de cette production, des enjeux aussi bien épistémologiques que théoriques et institutionnels. Car, dans la transformation opérée d’un prix passé (tel qu’il apparaît dans les archives) en un prix historique considéré comme un fait scientifique, s’avèrent déterminantes des questions aussi diverses et cruciales que le statut respectif des sciences sociales et des sciences de la nature, le monétarisme, ou le passage du champ académique du savant humboldtien à l’ère de la big science. Questions qui, réciproquement, reçoivent de l’analyse de ce cas précis un éclairage dont l’intérêt tient au croisement de ces domaines le plus souvent considérés isolément, croisement que précisément permet ce cas d’espèce.

Abstract

Presenting a coherent interpretation of the development of economic and social policy in Britain since 1945, this book analyses the political assumptions underlying post-war economic policy. It traces these assumptions through the classic texts of Keynes and Beveridge, the architects of limited, non-socialist state intervention to secure the welfare state and full employment.

Topics covered include:
* 'Private saving' versus company pensions
* The level and composition of employment in Britain

Abstract

The Beveridge Report of 1942 captured the public imagination with its principle of universal social insurance in Britain; it became, and remained a benchmark for social security planning and its influence has been international. Beveridge's idea was to use universal benefits to remove the poverty caused by certain contingencies, such as unemployment, or retirement. This book considers the influence of Beveridge's ideas on social security, and argues that the reality, over the subsequent fifty years, has been very different from the principles and from the vision he expressed. The first part of this volume outlines the context within which the wartime report was written, the concessions that were made before implementation was possible, and the history of the postwar social insurance system. The important aspects of the social insurance system are considered in depth, such as the state pension, and the principle of flat- rather than means-tested benefits. The second part deals with the diverse responses to Beveridge's recommendations in several countries: Germany, Poland, Holland, Israel, Sweden, and Australia. Despite a move away from universally available benefits to means-tested income support, the editors argue that Beveridge's important legacy has been the notion of a national minimum income: a safety net covering all, and they assess the continuing relevance of Beveridge's thinking for the future of social security.
