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. 001450758 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001450758 60010 $$aWebb, Sidney,$$d1859-1947$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000121451642 001450758 60010 $$aWebb, Beatrice,$$d1858-1943$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000122826362 001450758 650_0 $$aSocialists$$zGreat Britain$$vBiography. 001450758 650_0 $$aEconomists$$zGreat Britain$$vBiography. 001450758 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919896 001450758 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001450758 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031100077$$z9783031100079$$w(OCoLC)1322809654 001450758 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aReisman, David A., author.$$tSidney and Beatrice Webb$$z9783031100079$$w(OCoLC)1346317997 001450758 830_0 $$aGreat thinkers in economics series,$$x2662-6284 001450758 852__ $$bebk 001450758 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-10008-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001450758 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1450758$$pGLOBAL_SET 001450758 980__ $$aBIB 001450758 980__ $$aEBOOK 001450758 982__ $$aEbook 001450758 983__ $$aOnline 001450758 994__ $$a92$$bISE
