    Robert Corfe
    Few books evoke the private life of an era, as it was in England between 1935 and 1954, with such clarity, as this autobiography. And it is only through such an intimate memoir that the hidden aspects of an age - so often lost to future generations - may be revealed as social history. It comprises the 'confession' of a prolific author, with all his thoughts and feelings, and n...

  • Prosperity in a Stable World--Volume 3 of Social Capitalism in Theory and Practice
    Robert Corfe
    The reform of the financial-industrial infrastructure cannot be undertaken without considering fully the political culture in which it exists.

Whils...
