Description:... The principles and value framework of the postwar welfare consensus were called into question with the general election of 1979. This book assesses developments in key areas of the welfare state, providing a comprehensive appraisal of the impact of Thatcherism. The contributors also examine the prospects for the 'new welfare' into the 1990s.
