	Arnold Toynbee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Toynbee was born in London as the son of the physician Joseph Toynbee, a pioneering otolaryngologist in his time; the more famous universal historian Arnold Joseph Toynbee (1889-1975), with whom he is often confused, was his nephew.
		Toynbee suggests to distinguish between "a struggle for mere existence and a struggle for a particular kind of existence." From the very beginning of history, he argues, all human civilization was essentially designed to "interfere with this brute struggle.
		For Toynbee, early industrial capitalism and the situation of the working class in it was not only a subject of ivory-tower studies; he was actively involved in improving the living conditions of the proletariat.

		According to Meacham, the Toynbee Hall "ethos" consisted of a belief inculcated in students at Balliol College in Oxford in the late 1800s of the obligation to overcome class differences in Victorian England through the creation of a shared community among the well-to-do and the working classes.
		It was Toynbee Hall's involvement in the British cooperative movement that made it amenable to trade unionism, as it saw the problems that workers faced in dealing with their employers.
		Meacham accentuates the different attitudes about democracy among the three Toynbee Hall residents: Barnett's fervent fear of the masses, Beveridge's belief in bureaucracy and rule by the experts, and Tawney's acceptance of the working classes and their culture in shaping public policy.
