The Land of Opportunity
All the figures agree: the trend in Britain since the Second
World War has been towards more even distribution of opportunities. Class and background have less to do with income, wealth and work than ever before. But there's a sting in the tail: the gap between haves and have-nots now seems to be widening.
Professor A. H. Halsey asks what the figures are telling us about the changing shape of British society, and explores the new problems they pose for policy-makers.
