Book review: Social policy in a cold climate: policies and their consequences since the crisis edited by Ruth Lupton et al.

Launched at LSE by CASE, in Social Policy in a Cold Climate: Policies and their Consequences Since the Crisis editors Ruth Lupton et al analyse the impact of recent Labour and Coalition government policies on inequality and the provision of key services, including health, education, housing and employment, since 2007. This volume particularly highlights the different iterations and definitions of inequality emerging in the ‘cold climate’ unleashed by the financial crisis, writes Chris McLachlan.
