Welfare Theory by Tony Fitzpatrick
This fully updated new edition of a trusted text retains the accessibility of its predecessor while engaging with the potential impact of globalisation and the financial crisis. Its comprehensive analysis of the key concepts and theories of welfare makes it core reading for all those studying welfare and the welfare state.
Review of the first edition: "..in seeking to synthesise a very wide range of social and political thought into a body of 'welfare theory' and present it in a manner which is accessible to undergraduate students, Fitzpatrick has set himself (or been set) a fairly daunting task. It is a measure of his success, as well as a reflection of his erudition and evident enthusiasm for the subject, that he has managed to produce a text which is readable, accessible and will provide students with a good map of the theoretical terrain on the subject for some time to come." - Iain Ferguson, University of Stirling, Social Policy
