Too many of the world's citizens face impoverished living
standards. The economic and financial crises have made matters
worse. The viewpoint of Living Standards and Social Well-Being is
that the fundamental objective for an economy is provisioning, not
simply efficiency. The chapters in this volume examine how
economies across the globe come to understand what constitutes a
living and how they can improve living standards, including
balancing paid work with family life and civic responsibility. The
authors provide historical, theoretical, and empirical studies of
moving economies at the macro level and households at the micro
level toward improved living standards. It is argued that achieving
well-being and decent living standards, through work and welfare
state policies, is a social responsibility. Such improvements could
be delivered through basic income policies, family support, job
guarantees, decent work, shorter work weeks, and support from
social welfare. These issues are important for economics and the
other social sciences and in particular for social economics. This
book was published as a special issue of the Review of Social
Economy.
