VINTAGE PAPERBACK-CREASES TO SPINE AND FRONT COVER AND PRIOR OWNER NAME ON INSIDE PAGELondon: Arrow books 1977, 1977. Used. Guardian journalist Polly Toynbee took up the challenge of trying to survive on the minimum wage- living in one of the worst council estates in Britain and taking whatever was on offer at the job centre. What she discovered shocked her. In telesales and cake factories, as a hospital porter or a dinner-lady, she worked at a breakneck pace for cut-rate wages, alongside working mothers and struggling retirees. The service sector is now administered by seedy agencies offering no prospects, no screening and no commitment. And perhaps most damning of all, Toynbee found that, despite the optimism of Tony Blair's New Deal, the poorly paid effectively earn less than they did thirty years ago. Britain has the lowest social spending and the highest poverty in Europe. As the income gap between top and bottom has widened, social mobility has shuddered to a halt. Is this the end of social progress? In this compelling, powerfully written book, Polly Toynbee shows that unless we acknowledge the poor and radically improve their prospects, it will be., Arrow books 1977, 1977, 0, Crossroad Publishing Company, The, 1991.
