Austerity in Britain: Rationing, Controls, and Consumption, 1939-1955
Zweiniger-Bargielowska, Ina (, Associate Professor of Modern British History at the University of Illinois at Chicago.)
Austerity in Britain is the first book to explore the entire episode of rationing, austerity, and fair shares from 1939 until 1955. These policies were central to the British war effort and to post-war reconstruction. The book analyses the connections between government policy, consumption, gender, and party politics during and after the Second World War.
