Employment Policy is a subject of great current importance. Between 1939 and 1955 policy on unemployment altered out of all recognition,however, and in the 1930s mass unemployment was never a concern of economic policy. After 1939, the Second World War brought not only the fact of full employment, but also a commitment to its peacetime continuation, and by 1955 full employment was an agreed goal of both Labour and Conservative governments. This book analyses the conditions, precise character, and implications for economic policy, of this change. Economists, economic historians, and policy students will find this book of interest.
