Original Review of Repercussions of Redundancy:
‘This book gives many insights into the behavior and views of factory workers unwillingly placed in a position of having to cast their social and economic lot…The results are well summarized and their implications for British industrial policy are made explicit.’ Natalie Rogoff Ramsoy, American Journal of Sociology, Vol 71, No. 3, (1965)
Repercussions of Redundancy is a highly competent piece of social survey work…This book will, I think, be much read in years to come by students of our period of economic and social history when we were learning civilised ways of running our economic affairs.’ T. Lupton, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Vol 128, Issue 4 (1965).
