Employment Policy : The Crucial Years, 1939-1955

In the 1930s, mass unemployment was a secondary concern of British economic policy. In 1939, however, the war brought not only the fact of full employment, but also a commitment to its peacetime continuation--a commitment that, by 1955, was common to both Labour and Conservative governments. This book looks at Britain's employment policy during a time of great change, thoroughly analyzing its conditions, character, and implications for economic policy.Tomlinson, Jim is the author of 'Employment Policy : The Crucial Years, 1939-1955', published 1987 under ISBN 9780198285649 and ISBN 0198285647.
