The Covid-19 pandemic has tragically exposed how today's welfare
state cannot properly protect its citizens. Despite the valiant
efforts of public sector workers, from under-resourced hospitals to
a shortage of housing and affordable social care, the pandemic has
shown how decades of neglect has caused hundreds to die. In this
bold new book, leading policy analyst Ursula Huws shows how we can
create a welfare state that is fair, affordable, and offers
security for all. Huws focuses on some of the key issues of our
time - the gig economy, universal, free healthcare, and social
care, to criticize the current state of welfare provision. Drawing
on a lifetime of research on these topics, she clearly explains why
we need to radically rethink how it could change. With positivity
and rigor, she proposes new and original policy ideas, including
critical discussions of Universal Basic Income and new legislation
for universal workers' rights. She also outlines a 'digital welfare
state' for the 21st century. This would involve a repurposing of
online platform technologies under public control to modernize and
expand public services, and improve accessibility.
