Books by Nick Ellison

This new edition of an acclaimed undergraduate text offers both a critical commentary on the core areas of social policy in Britain - particularly as they have developed under the auspices of the New Labour government - and an appraisal of the key ideas currently informing British welfare policy.

Nick Ellison argues that the concept of equlity is the cornerstone of the British socialist tradition, examining the alternative understandings that have divided the Labour party since 1930 and considering contemporary attitudes.
