책 소개
Nearly every government in the developed world offers some form of protection of the social and economic well-being of its citizens. However, the provision of welfare is increasingly under threat. Some of the basic concepts of economic theory argue against collective provision and distribution of goods. Many argue that the concept of the welfare state is no longer fit-for-purpose, that it encourages idleness and wastes resources.

Arguments for Welfare is a short, accessible guide to the welfare state. Looking at the common ideas and reoccurring traits of welfare policy across the world it explores:
  • The mechanics of the welfare state
  • Morality and Social Policy
  • Social Responsibility
  • Markets
  • Public Service Provision
  • The Role of Government
With examples from the UK, Europe, North America and Australia the book explores how the principles of welfare are applied in welfare states across the world. It explains how it works and, most importantly, argues for its continued value to society. Arguments for Welfare is an ideal primer for practitioners keen to get to grips with the fundamentals of social policy and students of social policy, social work, sociology and politics.
