The Welfare State We’re In by James Bartholomew

A critical examination of Britain’s welfare system and the political, economic and social arguments surrounding its long-term effects.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in politics, history, philosophy and the ideas that shape societies. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by James Bartholomew, The Welfare State We’re In presents a critical examination of Britain’s welfare system and considers its influence on individuals, communities and wider society.

The book explores welfare provision, economics, social policy and the relationship between the individual and the state. Its arguments form part of a continuing political debate about public spending, responsibility and the role government should play in supporting society.

A thought provoking choice for readers interested in British politics, public policy, economics and competing ideas about the responsibilities of the state.
