Description

Understand the fundamental reasons behind public support for wealth redistribution in modern societies. In "The Moral Economy of Welfare States: Britain and Germany Compared," Steffen Mau explores why citizens accept large-scale institutional arrangements that redistribute resources between different social groups. By introducing the concept of the "moral economy," this book examines how acceptance of welfare schemes is rooted in specific moral assumptions and individual ideas of social justice. Rather than viewing people as purely selfish or purely altruistic, Mau demonstrates through a comparative analysis of Britain and Germany that individuals tend to reason through reciprocity. This text provides a deep look into both the institutions of welfare and the public attitudes that sustain them. It is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in political economy, sociology, and the social sciences, offering a new perspective on how social justice and economic policy connect in the modern world.
