Fascinating, thank you. I also see a link through to Alfred Marshall and John Maynard Keynes, who also had a burning desire to improve economic conditions in part as a way of avoiding possible revolution. Macmillan published Keynes' groundbreaking book Economic Consequences of the Peace in 1919!

Fascinated by all the social reforms of the Victorian era, especially those that directly benefited the poor. I have just ordered your book & will enjoy reading it. Thank you
