Taking as its focus three familiar and profoundly influential
social institutions, the family, work and welfare, this accessible
and exciting text looks at their role in maintaining social order
and promoting social change in Britain from the 1950's to the
beginning of the twenty first century. It shows how everyday life
within these institutions is marked by the exercise of power and
resistance and it charts the ways in which wider social change has
affected these processes. Ordering Lives: Family, Work and Welfare
engages with some of the most pressing issues affecting our society
in a lively yet academically rigorous manner. At the same time, it
offers students of the social sciences a crucial first introduction
to the way that theory is used in social science explanations of
social relations and institutional arrangements. This is a key
introductory text for all students beginning study in sociology,
social policy or general social sciences. Does it any longer make
sense to talk about a "welfare state" in today's UK?
