As in Austerity Britain, an astonishing array of vivid, intimate and unselfconscious voices drive the narrative. The keen-eyed Nella Last shops assiduously at Barrow Market as austerity and rationing gradually give way to relative abundance; housewife Judy Haines, relishing the detail of suburban life, brings up her children in Chingford; the self-absorbed civil servant Henry St John perfects the art of grumbling. These and many other voices give a rich, unsentimental picture of everyday life in the 1950s. We also encounter well-known figures on the way, such as Doris Lessing (joining and later leaving the Communist Party), John Arlott (sticking up on Any Questions? for the rights of homosexuals) and Tiger's Roy of the Rovers (making his goal-scoring debut for Melchester).All this is part of a colourful, unfolding tapestry, in which the great national events - the Tories returning to power, the death of George VI, the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth, the Suez Crisis - jostle alongside everything that gave Britain in the 1950s its distinctive flavour: Butlin's holiday camps, Kenwood food mixers, Hancock's Half-Hour, Ekco television sets, Davy Crockett, skiffle and teddy boys.

PRAISE FOR AUSTERITY BRITAIN: 'This wonderful volume is only the first in a series that will take us to 1979 and the election of Margaret Thatcher. When complete, Kynaston's skill in mixing eyewitness accounts and political analysis will surely be one of the greatest and most enduring publishing ventures for generations.' Brian Thompson, Observer 'Even readers who can remember the years Kynaston writes about will find they are continually surprised by the richness and diversity of his material ... mouth-watering' John Carey, Sunday Times 'The book is a marvel ... the level of detail is precise and fascinating' John Campbell, Sunday Telegraph 'A wonderfully illuminating picture of the way we were' Roy Hattersley, The Times Family Britain by David Kynaston is a comprehensive study of life in Britain after the Second World War. It is very well researched and although over 700 pages long it is written in a style which makes few strenuous demands on the reader - the pages can be turned quickly and effortlessly as the narrative unfolds. It covers a wide range of domestic issues, focusing both on the poorer sections of society and those who survived the deprivations of the war from a better-off postion. The politics are carefully explained, supported by extensive quotations drawn from a wide range of sources. The author also brings into the picture vignettes of certain people who have susequently become more well-known showing where they were in their chilhood days of the 50s. For those of us who were brought up in this period, this book provides a useful reminder of how our own lives formed part of the greater pattern of change that was unfolding. It also helps to place our own experiences into perspective. My only slight criticism is that the chapters occasionally jump from one topic to another without a clear link, but the chronlogy of the period 1951-1957 is always maintained. This awesome study is the follow-up to Austerity Britain 1945-1951, and if you've read that book then you will know what to expect here. Family Britain contains the same mixture of social issues, politics, cultural developments and personal reminiscences - drawn from a wide variety of sources including Mass Observation studies and personal diaries (we continue following the lives of Nella Last, Judy Haines, Anthony Heap and the other private diarists from the first book) - with the emphasis always on how the great events and changing times affected ordinary people living ordinary lives. Beginning with the Festival of Britain and ending with Eden's resignation, the book goes through the years basically chronologically, but pauses to consider the general themes and social issues of the period looking at race, class, housing, secondary schools, religion, the place of women and of course family life among many other things. It really is a fascinating book, breathtaking in its scope and range of sources and at all times a joy to read. It was also very satisfying how the author looked at issues in order to test our conventional wisdom of the period and - pleasingly - often shows how much more complicated the true picture is (eg the place of Christianity in Britain or the state of neighbourliness and sense of community etc.) It is also frequently pretty funny, with wry asides and the inclusion of the odd amusing response in with the contemporaneous survey evidence ("Sorry, can't talk ducks look - I got no teeth!) and I always looked forward to the latest reviews from the private diary of minor civil servant and theatre nut Anthony Heap (Waiting for Godot is "infantile...dreary...preposterous," Look Back In Anger is "monotonous...puerile...nauseating.") In addition to the voices featured in the previous book we follow such now-well-known figures as Kingsley Amis, Philip Larkin, Doris Lessing and John Fowles as well as hearing mention of kids like 'Mike' Jagger and Christine Keeler, foreshadowing the next instalment. I would have liked a bit more politics (not at the expense of anything else though) and some of the transitions between paragraphs were a bit silly (eg after talking about two people he might continue with: "Probably neither were in Ipswich two days later when..." etc.) Plus, although the book does spend a fair amount of time in Glasgow and the English North and Midlands as well as the South, there isn't much about Wales, the rest of Scotland or Northern Ireland (nothing at all if I remember rightly) - which I know a lot of people take issue over with books that claim to be about 'Britain.' with a professional interest in this period.

This article argues that the ideology of ‘meritocracy’ has become a key means through which plutocracy is endorsed by stealth within contemporary neoliberal culture.

  • The Necessity of Reforming Britain's Private Schools Francis Green* And
    The Necessity of Reforming Britain’s Private Schools Francis Green* and David Kynaston. [email protected]. UCL Institute of Education, Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AL Abstract The existence of extremely expensive private schools – about one in ten of all our schools -- presents a major problem for Britain’s education system. A new public education system could not coexist with the current, unreformed, private school system: therefore reform is a necessary condition for this project. Private schools are, on the whole, good schools, owing their successes largely to a massive resource input, some three times that of the state sector. But this distortion of our educational resources, is enormously unjust, as well as inefficient and supportive of a democratic deficit in British society. Some solutions are noted; while not dogmatic about which should be adopted, we explain why our preferred solution is a partial integration of the sectors, in particular what we term, in our book Engines of Privilege, a ‘Fair Access Scheme’. The existence of extremely expensive private schools – about one in ten of all our schools -- presents a major problem for Britain’s education system. We argue in this paper that a new public education could not coexist with the existing, unreformed, private school system. If private schools remained untouched, their presence would persistently undermine the desired new public education system. Britain’s private schools offer, on the whole and with one important proviso, a good education in the broadest sense. The left has sometimes found this fact difficult to accept, in the context of supporting public education; nevertheless, the evidence is compelling.

  • Bank of England: History, Role and Current Policy Debates
    Library Briefing Bank of England: History, Role and Current Policy Debates Summary The Bank of England (‘the Bank’) is a key player in the design and execution of UK economic and regulatory policy. It was founded in 1694 as a private bank. Over time, the Bank’s public role became more prominent. It was nationalised in 1946 and in 1997 the Bank was granted operational independence. The Bank has four main roles. First, it regulates other banks. This function moved away from the Bank in 1997 but returned in 2012. Second, it issues banknotes; it is the only institution in England and Wales that can do so, although certain banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland may also. Third, it sets monetary policy with the aim of meeting the Government’s target for the rate of inflation. And fourth, it is responsible for maintaining financial stability. In addition, the Bank acts as banker to the Government, collects certain economic statistics and carries out and publishes research. The activities of the Bank are the subject of public debate in a range of areas, from the appropriate aims of monetary policy and its links with fiscal policy to the design of banknotes. Some commentators have questioned the political consensus that the Bank should remain independent, while others have accused the Bank of acting too politically, particularly in its communications on Brexit and environmental policy. Discussions also continue about the effectiveness of the Bank’s policy of ‘quantitative easing’ since the financial crisis. Some commentators have also argued that the Bank’s appointments process for senior posts should be more transparent and promote diversity to a greater degree.
