The Dynamic Welfare State explains the decline of the classic
welfare state and documents the emergence of a third stage in the
American welfare state, evident in corporations exploiting markets
in healthcare, education, and financial services. Architects of the
welfare state envisaged government as the provider of essential
services to citizens; however, as the Medicare Modernization Act of
2003 and the Affordable Care Act of 2010 show, corporations and the
wealthy have become adept at using trade associations, hiring
lobbyists, influencing elections, and contributing to think tanks
in order to craft public policy so that it is congruent with
industry preferences. Additionally, The Dynamic Welfare State
describes the failure of health and human services professionals to
advance the welfare of the public, graphically illustrated by the
poverty trap, deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill, and "the
school-to-prison pipeline." A reconfigured welfare state is
essential if government social programs are to honor their public
commitments for the 21st century. This requires an appreciation for
the contributions of nonprofit and for-profit organizations as well
as the role of capitalism in welfare philosophy. Empowerment,
mobility, and innovation are themes for a dynamic welfare state
that is congruent with the 21st century.
