Description

This book investigates why people willingly support welfare institutions that redistribute wealth across social groups. Steffen Mau introduces the concept of 'the moral economy' to demonstrate that acceptance of welfare exchanges rests on moral assumptions and ideas of social justice. By analysing both the institution of welfare and public attitudes towards such schemes, the book reveals that people reason reciprocally rather than from purely selfish or altruistic motivations. Published by Routledge as part of their Studies in the Political Economy of the Welfare State series, this work provides critical insights into the moral foundations underpinning modern welfare systems, comparing Britain and Germany to illuminate how different societies balance redistribution with social cohesion.

Key Features

The book examines the moral economy concept to explain public support for welfare redistribution schemes across Britain and Germany.

Steffen Mau analyses both welfare institutions and public attitudes to reveal how reciprocal reasoning shapes people's views on redistribution.

Part of Routledge's Studies in the Political Economy of the Welfare State series, offering academic perspectives on welfare policy.

Combines institutional analysis with empirical research on social justice beliefs and welfare acceptance among different social groups.
