Description

Imagining Welfare Futures explores how we envision relationships between the public and the state that will shape the future of social welfare. The book examines new representations of the public, including the consumer, community, and citizen, and their implications for social welfare. The contributors offer a timely analysis of key questions, such as how the state can provide for the public good, whether welfare has a role in building social solidarity, or providing rights. This thought-provoking work initiates a discussion on the possibilities and problems associated with different ways of imagining the relationships between the state, the public, and social welfare. By considering these perspectives, Imagining Welfare Futures provides valuable insights into the future of social welfare and its connections to the state and society.
