Thanks, Peter. I still think Vic and Paul's iterations of the Ideology and Social welfare are among the best textbooks to have been produced in social policy.

Subject: Professor Vic George
Colleagues will be saddened to learn that Vic George died suddenly last Monday. Vic will be remembered as a kindly,self-effacing and scholarly man who did much to shape the careers of his colleagues and contributed greatly to the discipline through his teaching and his many books. These include the seminal Ideology and Social Welfare and Globalization and Human Welfare and British Society and Social Welfare (with Paul Wilding), European Welfare Futures, Major Thinkers in Welfare​, Modern Thinkers on Welfare (with Robert Page) and many others. Vic studied and carried out research on social security at LSE and then moved to Nottingham and Kent, where he was the founding professor of social policy. He will be missed by many in the discipline.
