William Henry Beveridge , 1er baron Beveridge de Tuggal, est un économiste et homme politique britannique. Il fut directeur de la London School of Economics.
Il est surtout connu pour son rapport parlementaire de novembre 1942 sur les services sociaux et services connexes , plus connu sous le nom de « rapport Beveridge », qui fournit les bases de réflexion à l’instauration de l'État-providence par le gouvernement travailliste d’après-guerre. Wikipedia
William Beveridge Beveridge Report
Pt. 1, 8
Social Insurance and Allied Services (1942)
Contexte: Organisation of social insurance should be treated as one part only of a comprehensive policy of social progress. Social insurance fully developed may provide income security; it is an attack upon Want. But Want is one only of five giants on the road of reconstruction and in some ways the easiest to attack. The others are Disease, Ignorance, Squalor and Idleness.

Contexte: Any proposals for the future, while they should use to the full the experience gathered in the past, should not be restricted by consideration of sectional interests established in the obtaining of that experience. Now, when the war is abolishing landmarks of every kind, is the opportunity for using experience in a clear field. A revolutionary moment in the world’s history is a time for revolutions, not for patching.
