Caring Capitalism - A New Middle-Class Base for the Welfare State (Hardcover, 2000 ed.)

Everywhere one travels in the world, people are excited about the new high technology production system. But the global villagers are also perplexed about the new social service needs that seem to accompany the high-tech economy; child care needs for working couples, elder care facilities for infirm senior citizens, burgeoning health care costs accompanying high-tech medicine, nusery school and college tuition costs, and more. There has been a global response to these social service needs, and this book will present and analyze that response. For, a new phenomenon may be emerging and as contradictory as it may appear, a kind of 'caring capitalism' may arise, worldwide. This book explores the various attempts around the globe to create a system of "caring capitalism"—and why modern nations have been pressured by "the new middle class" to do so.
