Disabled State by Deborah Stone

The defining assumptions and assumed definition of the welfare state
"[T]he author sets out to challenge the fundamental construction of social phenomena" --Social Service Review "One of the most exciting works on the development and character of the welfare state, as well as a profound treatment of the ways in which apparent technical decisions so often reflect changing political values." --Alan Altshulter, Dean, Graduate School of Public Administration, New York University "Deborah Stone demonstrates that disability is a movable social boundary whose limits depend on cultural consensus. Her elegant analysis has important political implications." --Aaron Wildavsky, President, American Political Science Association
Stone, Deborah: - Deborah Stone is a renowned scholar who has taught at Brandeis, MIT, and other universities around the world. Her award-winning book Policy Paradox has captivated readers through three decades, four editions, and six translations--but who's counting? She lives in Brookline, Massachusetts.
