Moreover, unrest was no longer occurring primarily as an intervention for immediate economic benefi ts. Quite the contrary: a large motivating factor was social revolution. An offi cial British memorandum of February 1919 stressed this shift : "Th e fundamental causes of labour unrest" were to be found in "the growing determination of Labour to challenge the whole existing structure of capitalist industry," and no longer only in "special and smaller grievances which come to the surface at any particular time."
