Modern Britain focuses on two major periods of British history; the interwar period, and postwar Britain. The authors compare and contrast developments in the two periods, dealing with the themes of:
* growth and welfare
* industry
* labour
* social policy
* the economy
Combining a narrative with a conceptual and analytic approach,Modern Britain provides an end-of-century review of progress and decline and an essential background to current polemics and major issues of concern. Clearly structured and written, this is an invaluable textbook for students of twentieth century British history.
Sean Glynn is a Senior Research Fellow at London Guildhall University. He is the author of Interwar Britain (1976) and several other books of modern British economic history.
