内容説明

Were the 1930s in Britain a decade of growing prosperity, unprecedented levels of ownership and sane, competent government? Or was it a time of grinding poverty, long-term unemployment and political timidity? In this new book Andrew Thorpe cuts through the welter of dispute and mythology to provide fresh analysis of politics, economics and society in this most controversial of decades.

内容説明

Historical debate about the 1930s has been sharply polarized. Some see the decade as a period of growing prosperity administered by sane and responsible governments. For others, it was a period of grinding poverty and high unemployment, blighted by weak and indecisive governments. Examining politics, the economy and society, Thorpe argues that while Britain did not thrive in the 1930s, its governments did as well as could be expected in the face of unprecedented problems. He also draws comparisons with Britain in the 1980s.
