The Welfare State We're In | James Bartholomew

The Welfare State We're In

A provocative political and social policy critique that questions the long-term consequences of Britain's post-war welfare system.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and a serious collector of films and books that had something to say. This is one of those pieces.

This is one of those books that does not tiptoe around its argument. Bartholomew challenges assumptions about what welfare systems achieve, what they unintentionally encourage, and how policy decisions made decades ago can shape behaviour, culture, and public expectations for generations.

Whether you agree with the author or not, it is the kind of read that sparks proper debate. If you are interested in British politics, social policy, and big questions about responsibility and the role of the state, this is a thought-provoking one.
