BIBLIOGRAPHY
There is a useful collection of articles and papers in
S. P. Aiyer, ed., Perspectives on the Welfare State (Bombay,
1966). There is no adequate history of the term or of the
institutions associated with it, but M. Bruce, The Coming
of the Welfare State (London, 1961) deals with British expe-
rience as a whole, and B. S. Gilbert, The Evolution of
National Insurance in Great Britain: the Origins of the
Welfare State (London, 1966) and idem, British Social Policy,
1916-1939 (London, 1970) examine fully some of the critical
chapters. T. H. Marshall, Citizenship and Social Class
(Cambridge, 1949) is a basic analysis. See also B. Kirkman
Gray, Philanthropy and the State (London, 1908); G. Myrdal,
Beyond the Welfare State (New Haven, 1958); R. M. Titmuss,
