      abstract = {This book examines the economic, social and political  thought of two highly influential cross-disciplinary  contributors to the debate in the United Kingdom about  welfare economics, social welfare, nationalisation and  public policy. Active between the 1880s and the 1930s,  their many books, papers, lectures and speeches shaped the  discourse on heterodox economics, social democracy and the  managed economy. The Webbs sat on Royal Commissions,  permeated local and central government, and were  instrumental in the creation of the London School of  Economics. This book discusses and assesses their  contribution to the broad topics of inequality, poverty,  unemployment, freedom, capitalism, socialism,  constitutional reform, social evolution and the historical  school. Issues such as these remain at the forefront of  contemporary discussions not just in Britain but throughout  the world. David Reisman is Professor Emeritus of Economics  at the University of Surrey, UK, and Senior Associate at  the Centre for Liberal Arts and Social Sciences at the  Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.},
