In Defence of Welfare 2

In Defence of Welfare 2 brings together nearly fifty short pieces from a diverse range of social policy academics and commentators, policy makers, and journalists that focus on developments in welfare over the last five years of UK Coalition Government. Following In Defence of Welfare, (Social Policy Association 2011), published in response to the British government's first Major Spending Review, this second volume reflects on the impact of recent welfare reforms and explores how inequalities in income, wealth, and well-being have become firmly entrenched in society. It considers how welfare can and should develop going forward in order to promote a more equal society.
