Abstract
This commentary on David Reisman's article on the work of Richard Titmuss accepts Reisman's view that Titmuss was the most important analyst of the postwar British ‘welfare state’, and that his analysis has much to teach current discussion of welfare. But, it argues, Titmuss' inheritance from the tradition of ethical socialism, especially the work of R.H. Tawney, imparts significant weaknesses to his arguments.
