Back to Beveridge
With Norman Fowler 's review of Social Security about to be published, politicians and commentators now readily evoke the name of the father of the Welfare State, Lord
Beveridge, to buttress their sometimes contradictory views. But who was Beveridge? How did his wartime Report on Social Insurance come to be written? How was it seen at the time? And what relevance does his austere crusade against the five great evils of Want, Disease, Squalor, Ignorance and Idleness, have today? Presented by Geoffrey Goodman , the Mirror's Industrial Editor.
