Labour Party and Taxation
Affluence and Industrial Relations in Post-War Britain
Affluence was a key element in the social history of post-1945 Britain. Contemporary analyses focused on the combination of acquisitiveness and full employment as one explanation for unstable and disorderly industrial relations. A contrasting development, also linked to the affluent economy, was the expansion of individual employment law that concentrated not on pay but on rights and justice at work. Both of these strands emphasised the importanc…
The Reform of Working Life in Britain, 1963–1971
In the 1960s and 1970s both Conservative and Labour governments passed novel laws dealing with the rights of individuals at work. Overshadowed by conflicts over collective labour law, the political significance of this legislation has remained unexplored. This article suggests that the legislation struck a balance between recognizing the complexity of work in a modern society, and preserving managerial authority. It also argues that the reforms s…

Richard Whiting's broad-ranging, lucid and readable study examines how Labour used tax to further its political aims of funding welfare, managing the economy, promoting fairness and achieving greater equality. Whiting also shows the limits of Labour's ability to achieve …

Ideology and Reform in Labour's Tax Strategy, 1964–1970
The tax strategy of the Labour governments of 1964–70 was intended to be both radical and reforming. That is, it had to fulfil the demands generated by the Labour movement as well as address issues of tax reform which were less closely tied to party politics. This article assesses Labour's ability to do this by paying particular attention to the contrasting budgets of 1965 and 1966. It examines the ideas of Nicholas Kaldor and the interests of th…

Taxation and the Working Class, 1915–24
The working class's experience of the tax system is an important aspect of its relationship with the state. This article examines the nature of this connexion during the First World War and its aftermath when fiscal policy was subject to intense political pressure. Two themes are paramount, those of resistance and appropriation. From the point of view of governments the less tax collection encouraged class-based opposition the better. Because the…
