Extract

Peter Townsend reached 80 in April 2008. We thought it a particularly appropriate way to mark his outstanding contribution to the subjects of social policy and sociology by reprinting this essay published 50 years ago in the New Statesman. The title, ‘A Society for People’, identifies the dominant theme, not just for this paper, but for Peter's whole career.
