Soft cover. Condición: Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Ex-library with ex-library markings page before Contents page. Slight mark to inside cover from removal of old label. This book is a non-political, non-doctrine book that brings a broad multi-disciplinary approach to the whole question of fwelfate and the present economic pressures on public sector resources. The distinguished contributors to this book come from various disciplinary and ideological backgrounds but they have one unifying characteristic: they see welfate as worth defending. The contributions have been grouped into three broad sections. First, under a general heading of 'Ethical and Moral Questions' the authors consider and respond top charges that collective welfare provisions are inimical to justice and freedom. They consider, too, matters of citizenship and altruism implicit within welfare ideas. Second, the authors turn to economics and examine the significance of the marked model for modern neo-liberal serives in mixed economies; the payment system for welfate and income distribution, and the consequences of the privatization of welfare services. Finally, the authors focus attention on the operational side of welfare provision. They consider matters such as the law and order debate, the payments of social security benefits, universality and selectivity in the context of present economic circumstances and political thinking, and the position of the National health Serive. This is a highly topical book that will make a significant contribution to the current debate on welfate and its future. The subject is treated critically with no blind allegiance to a threatened status quo or an insistence on a return to some golden age of welfare. 282 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
