Sidney and Beatrice Webb

Focusing on the contributions of two pivotal figures in the UK, the book explores their impact on welfare economics, social welfare, and public policy from the 1880s to the 1930s. Their extensive writings and involvement in Royal Commissions helped shape discussions around heterodox economics and social democracy. Notably, they played a crucial role in establishing the London School of Economics, influencing both local and central government policies during a transformative period in economic thought.
