This book explains why the U.S. welfare state does less than other Western welfare states to help people in need. Combining a state-of-the-art account of recent research on how political institutions, class politics, and racial divisions shape public policy with a close analysis of four periods of welfare state expansion and contraction, Noble shows how deeply-rooted structural, institutional, and organizational factors limit the possibilities for change, and suggests what social reformers might do about it.

By looking at contemporary concerns about access to social welfare, Welfare examines how social problems involve different principles of needs, rights and entitlements for users of welfare services. This book looks at how the pressure to contain public spending has led to concerns with setting priorities, targeting and rationing in the provision of public services. These are examined through an exploration of the construction of health, social care and need, "dangerous" youth, "deviant families" and the "underclass."

Moral philosophers agree that welfare matters. But they disagree about what it is, or how much it matters. Wayne Sumner presents an original theory of welfare, investigating its nature and discussing its importance. He considers and rejects all notable theories of welfare, both objective and subjective, including hedonism and theories founded on desire or preference. His own theory connects welfare closely with happiness or life satisfaction. Reacting against the value pluralism that currently dominates moral philosophy, he advances welfare as the only basic ethical value. He concludes by disc

In 1996, the sixty-year old Aid to Families with Dependent Children program was replaced by a new, and dramatically different, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program. President Clinton had promised in his 1992 presidential campaign to "end welfare as we know it," but the legislation he signed in 1996 was far closer to positions favored by congressional Republicans. It was one of the few major domestic policy initiatives of the new Republican congressional majority to make it into law--a marked contrast to the failures of a long list of welfare reform initiatives dating back to Presiden
