[1] Zweig arrived in the United Kingdom and became the economic adviser to the Polish government-in-exile headed by General Władysław Sikorski, while also authoring Poland Between Two Wars and The Planning of Free Societies.

[3] Zweig's post-war books—especially The British Worker and Women's Life and Labour—"established his reputation as a social chronicler", according to The Times.

[1] He went on to produce The Worker in Affluent Society in 1961,[1] in which he argued that material affluence was leading to the disappearance of a "culturally distinct working class".

[1] In the view of Helen McCarthy, Zweig's studies of working-class men were related to the concerns of other post-war social researchers like Brian Jackson, Dennis Marsden and Peter Willmott, "all deeply absorbed in the 'male melodrama of the upwardly mobile'"; Zweig's studies of women in work, however, reflected interests not shared with those men.

[7] McCarthy argues that Zweig was one of a number of researchers in the 1950s (such as Viola Klein, Pearl Jephcott, Judith Hubback, Nancy Seear and Hannah Gavron) who "helped to entrench new understandings of married women's employment as a fundamental feature of advanced industrial societies, and one that solved the dilemmas of 'modern' woman across social classes.
