Welfare State and Welfare Society : Illusion and Reality, Paperback / softback Book

Welfare State and Welfare Society : Illusion and Reality Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Welfare and the State series

Paperback / softback

Description

Originally published in 1976, Welfare State and Welfare Society breaks away from the prevailing notion that the welfare state is mainly concerned with the well-being of the entire nation.

The book distinguishes the welfare state from the welfare society, and shows that there is often a yawning gulf between public policy and how people feel, think and behave.

The book examines critically, the policies which have been adopted or advocated as relevant to a welfare state, and inquires how far the hopes and expectations centred on it have been realised.
