Description

Explore a historical analysis of social policy and economic theory with The Political Economy of the Welfare State. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Economics and Political Science series, this volume examines the critical debates that emerged in the early 1980s regarding the sustainability of social systems. The text investigates the period when the welfare state faced significant scrutiny in the UK and the USA. It addresses the arguments made by critics who questioned the effectiveness of social programs in addressing poverty. The book also covers the economic concerns of the time, including debates over the costs of social systems, the potential for creating dependency, and the impact of welfare policies on general economic recovery. This work provides essential context for students and researchers studying the intersection of economics and political science. By reviewing the pressures that led to policy cuts and economic shifts, readers gain a deeper understanding of the historical challenges facing modern social orders.
