Preview Roads to Ruin: The Shocking History of Social Reform
Description:
Excellently written and meticulously research, this is a history of several social reforms and those who opposed them. The reforms are so deeply embedded in modern Britain that opposing them seems absurd- who are these people who argued against banning children from drinking gin? How on earth could anyone think a 16 hour work day and no time off on Saturday was fair? The book goes to show how conservatism and caution are often entirely unreasonable and detrimental to a functioning society. None would disagree with the reforms here, and may that be a lesson.
