From the General Introduction by editor David Reisman: "...[T]he perspective that most decisively unites these ten classic texts from 1931 to 1968, from the unemployment and deprivation of the Great Depression to the affluence and technocracy of the National Plan, is the conviction that the State is a complement and not a threat to the individual's liberty." The texts are: Vol.1: R.H. Tawney, Equality (1931,1952); Vol.2: Robert Hall, The Economic System in a Socialist State (1937); Vol.3: A.C. Pigou, Socialism Versus Capitalism (1937); Vol.4: Harold Macmillan, The Middle Way (1938); Vol.5: Evan Durbin, The Politics of Democratic Socialism (1940); Vol.6: James Meade, Planning and the Price Mechanism (1948); Vol.7: Anthony Crosland, The Future of Socialism (1956); Vol.8: John Strachey, Contemporary Capitalism (1956); Vol.9: Andrew Shonfield, Modern Capitalism (1965); and Vol.10: Richard Titmuss, Commitment to Welfare (1968).
