{"product_id":"duty-of-care-a-3","title":"Duty of Care, A","description":"One of our most celebrated historians shows how we can use the lessons of the past to build a new post-covid society in Britain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ''duty of care'' which the state owes to its citizens is a phrase much used, but what has it actually meant in Britain historically? And what should it mean in the future, once the immediate Covid crisis has passed?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn A Duty of Care, Peter Hennessy divides post-war British history into BC (before covid) and AC (after covid). He looks back to Sir William Beveridge''s classic identification of the ''five giants'' against which society had to battle - want, disease, ignorance, squalor and idleness - and laid the foundations for the modern welfare state in his wartime report. He examines the steady assault on the giants by successive post-war governments and asks what the comparable giants are now. He lays out the ''road to 2045'' with ''a new Beveridge'' to build a consensus for post-covid Britain with the ambition and on the scale that was achieved by the first.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57805903888719,"sku":"9780141995663","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9780141995663_1-duty-of-care-a.jpg?v=1780003187","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/duty-of-care-a-3","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
