It was widely believed that poverty in Britain had been all but eliminated with the construction of the welfare state and post War affluence. But while politicans were telling people they had never had it so good, social scientists were re-discovering poverty. The most influential of these was Peter Townsend, whose study of poverty in the 1960s and 70s was one of the most detailed ever undertaken in Britain. This programme will be relevant to thse studying stratification, poverty and research methods. |
