Description

Explore a fascinating interpretation of social policy evolution in modern Ireland with this work from Policy Press. Professor Powell examines how the welfare state developed through a relationship between church, state, and capital. Using official estimates, the text demonstrates why the welfare state is vital for social cohesion, noting that half the population would face poverty risk without it. This book provides a deep look into the realities of a residual welfare system. It examines the impact of means tests, the structure of a two-tier health service, and a housing system driven by an acquisitive dynamic of home-ownership. This is an essential resource for understanding the economic and social structures that shape Irish society.
