Abstract:

From 1945 to 1951, inspired by the winning of the general election, the British Labor Party Government vigorously implemented its "Democratic Socialist " reform.While constructing the Welfare State, the Government tried to nationalize departments such as coal, transportation, electric power, steel etc.This paper tries to identify the causes, the characteristics and the impacts of the nationalization movement of this period so as to gain a better understanding of the socialist theory and practice of the post-war British Labor Party.

Key words: England, Labor Party, nationalization
