The Welfare State: Volume 14, Part 2 (Social Philosophy and Policy)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
These essays from distinguished scholars explore the history and justification of the welfare state and examine private alternatives to the public provision of aid. The essays explore the history of voluntarist arrangements, social insurance programs designed to provide for the elderly after their retirement, the nature of personal responsibility, and the impact of identity politics on the welfare state. Still others assess the success or failure of public housing, government assistance to veterans, or other specific programs, suggesting ways of reforming, expanding, or replacing them.
