Description
Radical Help: How We Can Remake the Relationships Between Us and Revolutionise the Welfare State Hilary Cottam explores a bold new approach to the welfare state, one that prioritises human connection and core capabilities. By examining five 'Experiments' in different areas of life, from housing to healthcare and work, Cottam shows how we can create a more effective and compassionate system. At the heart of this approach is a recognition that our capacities for relationships are abundant, and that we must work with individuals, families, and communities to grow the skills we need to flourish. This is a practical and ambitious book that describes the principles behind the approach, the design process that makes it possible, and the challenges of transition.
