Book excerpt: History and Heritage (1985) offers the first comprehensive exploration and assessment of the historical developments that form Britain’s industrial relations system – its institutions, texture and place in wider society. It looks at pre-industrial patterns of thought and behaviour, at religious and political struggles, different strategies of rule and social control, and at the central significance of the ruling order’s conditional commitment to the rule of law and certain liberal freedoms.
