Persons
Michael Young (1915-2002) was one of the leading and most imaginative citizens of this century, involved in many of its key movements and issues. His books like the Rise of the Meritocracy have altered how we think, and his social inventions like the Consumers' Association have changed how we live. Politically he has been the driving force behind a number of public initiatives like the Open University.
