The concluding volume of W.G. Runcimans trilogy on social theory applies his theory and methodology to the case of twentieth-century English society. He shows how Englands capitalist mode of production, liberal mode of persuasion, and democratic mode of coercion evolved in the aftermath of World War I from what they had been since the 1880s, yet did not evolve significantly following World War II. His explanation demonstrates that some economic, ideological and political practices were favored over others in an increasingly complex environment, neither predictable nor controllable by policymakers.

A Treatise on Social Theory: Volume Three
Page i
In this concluding volume of his trilogy on social theory, W. G. Runciman applies to the case of twentieth-century English society the methodology (distinguishing reportage, explanation, description and evaluation) and theory of the preceding two volumes. Volume III shows how England's capitalist mode of production, liberal mode of persuasion, and democratic mode of coercion evolved in the aftermath of World War I from what they had been since the 1880s, but did not, in turn, evolve significantly further following World War II. The explanation rests on an analysis of the selective pressures favouring some economic, ideological and political practices over others in an increasingly complex environment which policy-makers could neither predict nor control. This explanation is supported by a graphic account of the changes themselves and of how they were experienced by the different segments of English society.
