Mosley's Good and Bad Ideas

In 1931, Oswald Mosley announced the formation of a new political party. He wanted to institute a massive public works program spending 200 million pounds over three years in order to create thousands of new jobs for England's unemployed masses. The labor government sought to balance the budget, which required a massive cut to employment benefits and other entitlements. Most of Mosley's contemporaries considered his ideas kind of crazy but he remained popular with the people.
