Chapter Chapter 8 in Keynes as an Economist, World System Planner and Social Philosopher, 2024, pp 181-205 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The social system of the post-war UK is often referred to as “Keynes = Beveridge System” after Keynes, who brought on the “Keynesian Revolution” in the field of economic theory and policy with his General Theory, and Beveridge, who laid the foundations of the social security system with the Beveridge Report. As will be seen, Keynes and Beveridge endeavored in close collaboration to see their ideas implemented in the 1940s, earning the whole-hearted support of young economists and officials.
