Controversial Issues in Social Policy
by Howard Jacob Karger
The Divided Welfare State
by Jacob S. Hacker
THE DIVIDED WELFARE STATE is the first comprehensive political analysis of America’s system of public and private social benefits. Everyone knows that the American welfare state is less expensive and extensive, later to develop and slower to grow, than comparable programs abroad. American social spending is as high as spending in many European nations. What is distinctive is that so many social welfare duties are handled by the private sector with government support. With historical reach and statistical and cross-national evidence, The Divided Welfare State demonstrates that private social benefits have not been shaped by public policy, but have deeply influenced the politics of public social programs - to produce a social policy framework whose political and social effects are strikingly different than often assumed. At a time of fierce new debates about social policy, this book is essential to understanding the roots of America’s distinctive model and its future possibilities. Contents:Part I. The American Welfare Regime: 1. The politics of public and private social benefits; Part II. The Politics of Public and Private Pensions: 2. Connected at birth: public and private pensions before 1945; 3. Sibling rivalry: public and private pensions after 1945; Part III. The Politics of Public and Private Health Insurance: 4. Seeds of exceptionalism: public and private health insurance before 1945; 5. The elusive cure: public and private health insurance after 1945; Part IV. The Formation and Future of the American Welfare Regime: 6. The formation of the American welfare regime; 7. The future of the American welfare regime.

Introduction to Social Work and Social Welfare

Social Work And Social Welfare With Infotrac
by Rosalie Ambrosino
This revision of the authors' best-selling text continues to inspire student interest in the profession of social work, while helping them to understand the role that the profession plays in the social welfare system. In keeping with the current Council on Social Work Education's Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards, the text takes a generalist practice perspective in addressing social welfare issues, within the context of the systems/ecological framework, and the overarching framework used by generalist practitioners as they intervene to address social welfare needs at the individual, family, group, organization, community, and societal levels. The authors encourage students to consider the many reasons why social problems occur and to begin to think critically about issues in a new way, drawing on the book's coverage of history, values, and the economic, political, and cultural factors that affect social work and social welfare. The book also endeavors to give students a broad understanding of the profession of social work itself, with extensive coverage of the social work profession, a brief history of its origin, a discussion of various theoretical principles, and applications of these principles to common social problems.
