Recenzii
'This is an ambitious and fascinating book.'
'A major achievement. Affluence and Authority offers an original and up-to-date history of twentieth-century Britain. As well as the conventional forces of greater prosperity and better health, he highlights the less obvious factors which have defined people's lives: the state, the influence of religion, education, the media, work, as well as the place of class and national allegiances in an increasingly fluid and multicultural Britain. He gives a genuine social history for the twenty-first century.'

Descriere
The turn of the millennium generated a spate of reflections on the state of the nation and the ways in which life in Britain changed during the course of the twentieth century. Affluence and Authority adds to this debate through a broad, informed and accessible interpretation of British social history.
