| Description: |
An autobiography of Michael Young, a key figure in 20th-century British history. The book covers the ideas he has put forward, supporting the family, community and society, and those he has implemented, such as the Consumers' Association. It also looks at the role he has played in British politics. |
| Synopsis: |
Michael Young is one of the key figures in British 20th-century history. Focusing on family, community and social change, he has cascaded ideas, in the process coining new words, like "meritocracy". He has also initiated or played a major role in creating new and well known organizations. These include the Consumers' Association, the Open University, and the National and International Extension Colleges. In 1945 he drafted the Labour Party's successful election manifesto "Let Us Face the Future"; in 1965 he was the first Chairman of the new Social Science Research Council. |
