- Social security and wage poverty is the first book to use archival material to document and examine the development of financial relief for people in low paid work in Britain. It draws extensively upon material held in local and national archives. The author spent an extended period of time examining and analysing the contents (a broad array of administrative data) of 453 files held at the National Archives, the Lancashire Records Office and the Norfolk Records Office. He worked on the project alone, with the book taking over four years to research and write.
