Savage State

Welfare Capitalism and Inequality

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 is used as a point of departure for a critique of contemporary welfare policy and the capitalist state. Martin and Torres set out to renew a critical Marxist method by extending it to an analysis of contemporary social policy. It is in this approach that they set out to argue that a critique of welfare policy within the context of capitalism is more timely and important than ever before.

Rezensionen

Recommended. CHOICE One does not have to agree with Torres' and Martin's normative approach to learn a great deal from their critique of Marxist theory and the implications and significance it has for a democratic and just society. -- Martin Carnoy, Stanford University, author of Sustaining the New Economy
