Originally published in 1979, The Idea of Welfare critically
reviews the concepts of egoism and altruism as they are expressed
in residual and intuitional models of social welfare. The book
describes the way in which the scope and limits of obligation and
entitlement are determined in practice by the interplay of
familial, communal, national and international loyalties. It also
looks at the similarities and differences between economic and
social forms of exchange and mutual aid. These major themes are
developed in a comparative review, which explores the effects of
social change on the ways in which people seek to preserve and
enhance their welfare through self-help and collective action. The
book focuses on Britain, the USA and Russia, it challenges
conventional definitions of welfare, largely concerned with formal
social policies sponsored by government and uses historical
material to illustrate the dominant forms of a mutual aid which
were practised before the development of modern welfare states.
