In this book Lesley Jacobs challenges the view, now prevalent in
North America and Western Europe, that the primary function of a
nation's social policy should be to provide support only for the
poorest people instead of social services accessible to all its
citizens. In an interesting and distinctive argument he develops
and defends the idea that access to basic rights such as education,
health care, adequate housing, and income support can provide a
solid moral foundation for redistributive state welfare programmes,
maintaining that any nation which purports to take rights to basic
liberties seriously must also be fully committed to the principles
of the welfare state. Dr Jacob's thesis addresses a pressing
political and philosophical problem at the heart of the policies
and structure of the modern state.
