Synopsis

A concise look at postwar labour tensions and the push for industrial reform

This edition surveys how Britain faced rising industrial unrest after war, with discussions on hours, wages, and the balance between capital and labor. It presents debates from parliament and industry leaders about how to restore production, manage shortages, and rebuild the economy.

Readers will see key questions about unemployment, trade, and government action. The text highlights how officials, unions, and business alike consider cooperation, education, and public policy as tools to steady markets and improve workers’ lives. It emphasizes the tension between rapid change and orderly adjustment in a transitioning economy.

  • How hours, wages, and working conditions were addressed during reconstruction
  • Arguments for and against government intervention and corporate responsibility
  • Discussion of Bolshevism, profiteering, and the impact of global competition
  • Perspectives on education, housing, and social reform as part of industrial policy

Ideal for readers of historical debates on labour, policy, and postwar recovery.
