Synopsis

This fascinating book explores the evolution of social insurance and provides a critical analysis of the UK's National Health Insurance Act. Written by a strong advocate of compulsory state insurance, the author puts forward a compelling case for its expansion and advocates its extension beyond the borders of the 1911 Act. The book contextualizes the Act within the broader movement of social reform and provides a wealth of historical information on foreign social insurance models, particularly Germany's. The author explores the social conditions that necessitated the act and presents fundamental principles that underpin it. This book offers a comprehensive account of the 1911 Act, including a detailed section reprinting the Health Section of the Act with explanatory notes, making it an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the history and future of social insurance.
