| description | Dissatisfaction with the UK's social democratic welfare state was not confined to critics from the right in the years when Thatcherism was in the ascendant. This paper examines how a range of thinkers on the left (Colin Ward, Sheila Rowbotham, Stuart Hall, Paul Hirst, and Hilary Wainwright) developed a distinctive left critique of the welfare state. It discusses how they envisaged transforming the welfare state, notably through the creation of state-society partnerships that would democratise the provision of public services. |
