The sixth edition of this successful textbook discusses elements of
the welfare system, including cash benefits, the health service and
education. The text argues that the welfare state does not exist
just to help the underprivileged, but also offers efficiencies in
areas where the private markets would be inefficient or would not
exist at all. Suitable for both economics students and students on
related disciplines, this book places the content within a
theoretical framework, and uses learning features to engage
students with the discussion. Each chapter is concluded with a
summary of the key points and an appendix, which provides a
non-technical summary for students with no previous exposure to
economics. Worked examples from around the world facilitate the
comparison of global welfare issues, while diagrams allow readers
to visualize concepts. The author ends each chapter with 'questions
for further discussion' which could be prepared to structure
seminars or to independently test understanding, while an annotated
list of further reading suggestions guides additional research.
