Welfare Justice

In this provocative analysis, an eminent authority critically examines the present welfare state and highlights its failures and inequities amid growing resentment against welfare spending for the poor. Gilbert calls for a new form of social protection, the "enabling state", that would encourage private responsibility while maintaining an equitable system of public care for those unable to assist themselves.
