Rethinking Welfare: A Critical Perspective

By Iain Ferguson, Michael Lavalette, Gerry Mooney

I would encourage undergraduates students to read it, for it does summarise well a classical Marxist analysis of social policy and welfare' - Social Policyhe anti-capitalist movement is increasingly challenging the global hegemony of neo-liberalism. The arguments against the neo-liberal agenda are clearly articulated in Rethinking Welfare. The authors highlight the growing inequalities and decimation of state welfare. Using Marxist approaches to contemporary social policy they provide a defence of the welfare state. They explore the question of globalization as well as the neo-liberal agenda of the Conservative and New Labour governments in Britain.
