Case Study: Good Times, Bad Times

Chapter infographics developed for Good Times, Bad Times: The welfare myth of them and us were used by ministers, government departments and the media.

Gordon Brown used the book extensively in his 2015 keynote address for the 50th anniversary of Child Poverty Action Group.

John Hills said:

"Policy Press have always been a pleasure to work with, given their great sympathy for and understanding of the areas that I have written about, attention to detail on manuscripts, their imagination on presentation, and their speed of getting the finished product out.

As a result of the attractive and accessible way in which they produced my book, it had had greater reach than other things I have written in this area, and I hope has played a role in the public debate as a result."
