About this title

Synopsis

It has been argued that in the past decade the enterprise culture, monetarism and hands-off government have inaugurated a new phase of social change in the United Kingdom. But how widespread or profound is the metamorphosis? The Changing Social Structure addresses the major topics surrounding this current debate: the significance of recent cultural developments, social equality, class structure, ethnic minorities, the impact of working women on the labor market, privatization, and the north-south divide. This stimulating introduction to British society covers both the empirical aspects and the theories of social change and illustrates the urban and regional dimensions of change. A thought-provoking look at modern British society, this volume will be essential reading for scholars and professionals in the areas of sociology, geography, and political science.
