World War Two
Published 9 Dec 2021

In predicament due to the extreme situation of war, people are in dire need for a working system of social security. Therefore, Beveridge is instructed by the British government to draw up a report on the state of the country´s insurance schemes.

World War Two

Love it or hate it, this is what happened. WW2 is inherently connected to the proliferation of the welfare state. While this welfare state is part of much modern political discourse, it is futile to debate it without first understanding its historical origins. So let’s try have that (civil) debate, why did World War Two lead to the proliferation of the welfare state, and what are your views on the implications of this historical transformation?
