First Edition
- Brian Lund - Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
March 2002 | 254 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
This accessible and original text combines a systematic examination of the theories of welfare with an historical account of the evolution of the welfare state and its impact in promoting social justice. It identifies the principles governing social distribution and examines the rationales for these different distributive principles. This book also links the theories of distribution to the actual development of social policy and considers their outcomes.
Understanding State Welfare will be essential reading for students of social policy. It provides a clear understanding of both theories of welfare and the history of the development of the British welfare state.

This is an excellent book that will encourage critical discussion centered on the (future) roles of the welfare state, in the wider context of economic crisis and response.

I find this book very interesting. However, I belived that the students in Sweden will find it too narrow because it focuses mainly on England.
