In an age of government imposed austerity, and after 30 years of
neoliberal restructuring, the future of the welfare state looks
increasingly uncertain. Asbjorn Wahl offers an accessible analysis
of the situation across Europe, identifies the most important
challenges and presents practical proposals for combating the
assault on welfare. Wahl argues that the welfare state should be
seen as the result of a class compromise forged in the 20th
century, which means that it cannot easily be exported
internationally. He considers the enormous shifts in power
relations and the profound internal changes to the welfare state
which have occurred during the neoliberal era, pointing to the
paradigm shift that the welfare state is going through. This is
illustrated by the shift from welfare to workfare and increased top
down control. As well as being a fascinating study in its own right
that will appeal to students of economics and politics, The Rise
and Fall of the Welfare State also points to an alternative way
forward for the trade union movement based on concrete examples of
struggles and alliance-building.
