This title was first published in 2000: Over the past decade the
welfare state has come under sustained attack not only from
quarters which never approved of its policies, but also from
political theorists who used to support it. With the collapse of
communism, the policy of comprehensive welfare provision came under
renewed scrutiny. It was argued that its impact on work incentives
is most detrimental. Examining in detail current unemployment
debates within Western welfare states, this book seeks to verify or
refute the view that non-work is increasingly chosen by work shy
individuals - the 'pathological' theory of unemployment. Drawing
from a range of disciplinary perspectives - from social philosophy
and the history of philosophy, to occupational psychology and
feminist economics - this interdisciplinary analysis reveals that
the "pathological" theory of unemployment, with its reliance on a
deficient depiction of human nature and its disregard of
non-pecuniary work incentives and empirical evidence on benefit
fraud, cannot be upheld.
