Focusing on the economic and political ideas of two pivotal figures in early 20th-century Britain, this book explores their contributions to welfare economics, social welfare, nationalization, and public policy. Active from the 1880s to the 1930s, they influenced the discourse on heterodox economics and social democracy through their extensive writings and participation in Royal Commissions. Their involvement in local and central government and their role in establishing the London School of Economics highlight their lasting impact on economic thought and public policy.
