Baby bonds, Mayday

[James Heartfield]

This view was often attributed to Titmuss, but after reading your mail I
had a quick scoot over 'Essays on the Welfare State', and couldn't find
anything more precise than the following:

'In a situation of limited resources, quality of service comes into
conflict with quantity of service; if the standard is set for (what
Defoe called) "the middling classes" then the quantitative needs of
other groups may not be met.' p23

Maybe it's in his other work 'Income Distribution and Social Change'.
