However, in this new reassessment, Stephen Thornton rescues Crossman's political achievements from obscurity. From 1955 to the end of his life in 1974, Crossman was committed to a radical scheme that promised to break Britain free from the existing Beveridge model of welfare provision and transform the social security regime in the UK. Although the scheme as Crossman envisaged it was not directly implemented, his actions did prompt highly significant modifications to both Labour and, more surprisingly, Conservative social security policy. Here Crossman's reputation as a towering figure of the patrician Left is rehabilitated as Thornton argues that in the era of New Labour the lessons Crossman learned from his project of welfare reform are more valuable and relevant than ever. Conclusion: Crossman's legacy."--Bloomsbury publishing. 410 0$aInternational library of political studies ;$v27. 606 $aStatesmen$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aWelfare state$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCentral government policies$2BIC 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1945-1964 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1964-1979 615 0$aStatesmen 615 0$aWelfare state$xHistory 615 7$aCentral government policies. 676 $a941.085092 676 $a324.2092 700 $aThornton$b Stephen$f1970-$0976326 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968314203321 996 $aRichard Crossman and the welfare state$94338410 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01231nam0 22003011i 450 001 UON00494478 005 20231205105346.810 010 $a88-15-05521-5 100 $a20190509d1996 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aScuole e maestri tra Medioevo e Rinascimento$eil caso veneziano$fGherardo Ortalli 210 $aBologna$cIl Mulino$dc1996 215 $a214 p.$d22 cm. 316 $aDono Prof. Alberto Varvaro.$5IT-UONSI F.
