In the past quarter-century, conservatives in the U. S. have
implemented a policy agenda featuring balanced budgets, lower
taxes, fewer social programs, and family values. This book examines
the impact of this campaign on contemporary public policy, and on
the future of social justice and democracy. Leading experts on
social welfare, social security, housing and urban development,
health care, and economic policy, review these developments, and
analyze the impact of the conservative agenda, particularly on the
Clinton administration.In this comprehensive collection of new
essays, the conservative notion that dependency on government is
the fundamental problem plaguing America, is challenged. On the
contrary, the contributors find that conservative policies only
lead to a cycle of recision. The effort to balance the budget,
sustained military expenditure, the devolution of social programs,
and welfare reform have lead to increased poverty and a future cost
to society. Included in this collection are leading experts on
social and economic policy including Zillah Eisenstein, Frances Fox
Piven, Ann Markusen, Harvey Molotch, James Petras, Jill Quadagno,
Judith Stacey and Ron Walters.
