The first book of Harvard political scientist Adam B. Ulam. The central thrust of the book is neatly summarised in the author’s preface: “I found myself compelled to comment, however briefly, on the intellectual atmosphere, policies, and dilemmas surrounding the Welfare State as conceived and built by English socialists.” (preface).
