Part 2: SOCIAL INEQUALITY
in Twentieth-Century England by W. G. RUNCIMAN author of Social Science and Political Theory2: The Pattern of Inequality
Ever since the Industrial Revolution there have been two views as to whether English society is growing more egalitarian. Some observers in Victorian England maintained that equality was steadily increasing. Others, notably Marx and Engels. maintained that the gap between rich and poor was steadily widening. In three talks W. G. Runciman attempts to apply some objective criteria to the situation in English society today

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
