Reasons for Welfare by Robert E Goodin
Offers a defense of the minimal welfare state substantially independent of any broader commitments, and at the same time better able to withstand challenges from the New Right's moralistic political economy. This defense of the existence of the welfare state is discussed, flanked by criticism of Old Left and New Right arguments.

"Anyone who thinks philosophical debates are irrelevant to the problems of the real world should read this bookBased upon very general considerations concerning ethical issues, it puts together persuasive conclusions about the role of the welfare state in modern societies. It is sober in style and analytical in outlook, but supplies an interpretation of welfare institutions which is both convincing and original."--The Times Higher Education Supplement
