Description

It is the authors contention that an abundance of voluntary action outside the citizens home, both individually and collectively, for bettering his own and his fellows lives, are the distinguishing marks of a truly free society. This volume is a study of how such action can be kept alive in the face of the inevitable development of State action and suggests the new forms which co-operation between the State and voluntary Organizations may take, leaving a maximum of freedom and responsibility to the individual.

Voluntary Action is a text of unique value because Beveridge here develops his vision of how a large `voluntary action sector could function as a type of buffer zone between the state and the market.
