William Beveridge ha expuesto en España sus modernas tésis económico-sociales.

El pensador y economista británico Sir William Beveridge, visitó la Faculta de Ciencias Políticas y Económicas de la Universidad Central, con motivo de la inauguración de la Cátedra de Seguridad Social y pronunció un discurso sobre 'Seguridad Social' y 'La ocupación total en una sociedad libre'. En cuanto al primero de los temas, se refirió a la seguridad de los individuos fomentada por el Estado frente a los riesgos que pudieran sobrevenirles, incluso cuando la situación de la sociedad fuera satisfactoria. Comentó el Plan de Seguridad Social que elevó al gobierno británico en 1942, mediante el cual, todos los ciudadanos quedaban protegidos garantizándoles una renta suficiente para atender su subsistencia cuando sus ingresos se interrumpieran. Este plan podría ser aplicable a cualquier país, pero adaptándolo a las propias características del mismo y a sus necesidades. En cuanto a la ocupación de los ciudadanos para asegurar una sociedad libre, precisaba el economista que era necesario que existieran y se ocuparan tantos trabajos como hombres y mujeres disponibles y en edad de trabajar con el fin de desarrollar un sociedad en la que sus ciudadanos pudieran tener una vida plena.
