Описание: This book explores the changing nature of social movements and economic elites in post-Second World War Europe. In the years following 1945, Europe faced diverse challenges connected by the overriding question of how the reconstruction of the continent should proceed. For the Central Powers, the implementation lay in the hands of the Allied occupying forces who organised the process of denazification and the establishment of a new economic order. In countries without military occupation, there was a deep gap between the new governmental forces and the former collaborators. In both cases, social movements which were formed by anti-fascists on the left of the political spectrum assumed the task of social reorganisation. The chapters in this book explore the discourses about economic systems and their elites which moved to the fore across a range of European countries, uncovering who was involved, what resistance these social movements faced and how these ultimately failed in the West to bring about change, while in Eastern Europe Stalinism forcibly imposed change.

Описание:
This is a much enlarged edition - with 4 further essays and a new introduction added - of Professor Rubinstein's influential study of the evolution and composition of Britain's elites since 1750.
The author is the leading historian who has reshaped our knowledge of the top strata of British society. He shows the key importance of London and of the relative insignificance of the manufacturing and heavy industries of the North of England for Britain's elite of wealth and power.
He focuses on the development of Britain's wealth and elite structures since industrialisation. The work is based on intense and original pioneering research into individual wealth-holders and elite members.
The essays include three which discuss 'survivals' in modern British history, patterns and movements which historians have overlooked because they 'shouldn't be there'.
A substantial new introduction reviews the recent historiography of the subject, and brings up-to-date earlier material.
