Abstract

Jim is thirty‐one years old. The son of a railway worker in the north, he left school at fifteen and was a manual worker for the next few years. By the age of twenty‐one he was married and a fairly active young socialist. Now, ten years later, he has two children, is a capstan lathe operator in a local factory, a shop steward, and an active member of the local Labour party. He has attended a WEA course on British economic history and has been to a two‐week summer school on ‘Problems of the British Economy’. He has also done a little reading on his own on trade unionism and politics.
