Summary

James Hinton uses the Mass Observation Project to explore how seven people - the wife of a small businessman, a teacher, a social worker, an RAF wife, a mechanic, a lorry driver and a City banker - reacted to the rapidly changing society after the war years, through the increasingly tolerant sixties, to the rise of Thatcherite neo-liberalism.--
