The Uses of Social Investment provides the first study of the
welfare state, under the new post-crisis austerity context and
associated crisis management politics, to take stock of the limits
and potential of social investment. It surveys the emergence,
diffusion, limits, merits, and politics of social investment as the
welfare policy paradigm for the 21st century, seen through the lens
of the life-course contingencies of the competitive knowledge
economy and modern family-hood. Featuring contributions from
leading scholars in the field, the volume revisits the intellectual
roots and normative foundations of social investment, surveys the
criticisms that have leveled against the social investment
perspective in theory and policy practice, and presents empirical
evidence of social investment progress together with novel research
methodologies for assessing socioeconomic 'rates of return' on
social investment. Given the progressive, admittedly uneven,
diffusion of the social investment policy priorities across the
globe, the volume seeks to address the pressing political question
as to whether the social investment turn is able to withstand the
fiscal austerity backlash that has re-emerged in the aftermath of
the global financial crisis.
