Contrasting the Edwardian social policies of two husband-and-wife teams--the Fabian socialists, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, and the philosopher Bernard Bosanquet and his wife, Helen--this work examines the conflict of ideas on social policy on poverty and unemployment that culminated in the lengthy inquiries of the Royal Commission on the Poor Laws of 1905-1909.
