Why welfare? 520 $a This book makes the case for the welfare state. Nearly every government in the developed world offers some form of social protection, and measures to improve the social and economic well-being of its citizens. However, the provision of welfare is under attack. The critics argue that welfare states are illegitimate, that things are best left to the market, and that welfare has bad effects on the people who receive it. If we need to be reminded why we ought to have welfare, it is because so many people have come think that we should not. -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Welfare state 650 0 $a Social policy 650 7 $a Social policy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122738 650 7 $a Welfare state $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01173685 650 7 $a Wohlfahrtsstaat $2 gnd 650 7 $a Sozialpolitik $2 gnd 776 08 $i Online version: $a Spicker, Paul. $t Arguments for welfare. $d London ; New York : Rowman & Littlefield International, [2017] $z 9781786603036 $w (DLC) 2017009618 830 0 $a Rowman & Littlefield International--Policy impacts. 941 $a 4 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092837.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180426011452.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104061850.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20171101010202.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EFB2EE52BEC911E7B248943F97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
