Originally published in 1987 Not Only the Poor explores the
self-interested involvement of the non-poor in the welfare state,
particularly the middle class. Using evidence from Britain,
America, and Australia, they show that the non-poor were crucial in
the founding of the welfare state, and in all three countries the
non-poor benefit extensively from key welfare programmes, including
those ostensibly targeted on the poor. Goodin and Le Grand conclude
that the beneficial involvement of the non-poor in the welfare
state is probably inevitable, but this may be no bad thing,
depending on the alternative and on the nature of the egalitarian
ideal adopted.
