- The book is based on extensive primary research, drawing on dozens of collections from fifteen archives in Britain and the United States, two collections of private papers, one oral interview, and hundreds of printed primary sources to present an in depth study of the life and work of the social scientist and policy maker Michael Young. Synthesising political, intellectual, cultural and social history of post-war Britain, the book provides an important reconceptualization of the history of left-wing politics and political thought in Britain demonstrating the close relationship between the social sciences and left wing politics in post-war Britain.
