British Socialism, is the political ideology of having a socialist state, however far more liberal and emocratic, than the USSR was, for example. We still have a socialist govenment in the UK (The Labour Party) The philiosophy is about raising tha standart of life for all, creating a fair and equal society and developing the nation. Socialism in the UK (As a developed country) is much easier to acheive, because the UK is a rich country which can pay for things like: -The NHS (Free health care for all). The UK was the first country to recognise that a human life is worth more than money, and declared that health treatments should be free. -The Department for Health and Social Security, deals (dealt) with unemplyed people and the poor. It provided them with houses, money to live on and other benefits such as- DLA (Disability living allowane)- Disabled people, due to their in ability to work are paid by the state. Child Benefit- Money you get when you have children to make it easier Maternity Grants- Money when you have a baby. The UK is also the only country in Europe, where the state owns more than 50% of housing. Housing associations and Council houses are provided to people who have low income.

What were the ideas of political economist Eugene Rostow on socialism?

Eugene Rostow has put forward a rather unique perspective on the benefits of socialism. In 1959 he published his controversial ideas that the concept of socialism was not only erroneous, but also irrelevant. He support these claims that socialism fails in several ways:* Public ownership of the means of production does not, and cannot solve unemployment;* Socialism cannot promise the highest rate of economic progress; and* Socialism cannot eliminate social instability nor guarantee equal distribution of wealth.As a few examples, Rostow points to the British coal mining monopoly as one failure to benefit Great Britain.Rostow's ideas are controversial, and his ideas have been frequently challenged.
