Bibliographic Details Publisher: Chatham House Published date: 1981 Pages: 228 Similar books The Dynamic of Welfare by Jane Falkingham The role of the welfare state from its inception earlier this century was to redistribute people's lifetime incomes from periods of relative prosperity to periods of need, thereby reducing inequality amongst the population. Modernity and the State by Claus Offe Social Policy by Demetrius Iatridis This text examines key questions facing American society: Who is responsible for determining the quality of life or for providing solutions? Who should bear the costs and benefits of societal development? What justifies government action or inaction? 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.
