Description

Social Capitalism examines the intersection of Christian democratic principles and modern welfare systems, offering innovative analysis of how religious values have shaped social policy frameworks. First published in 2004 by Routledge (an imprint of Taylor & Francis), this study by political scientist Kees van Kersbergen explores the historical role of religion in welfare state development, an area that has received limited scholarly attention. The work stands out for its original approach to understanding gendered effects of social programmes through the lens of Christian democracy, providing valuable insights for researchers investigating how religious traditions influence contemporary social institutions and policy design.

Key Features

Examines the historical relationship between Christian democratic ideology and welfare state development across multiple contexts.
