First published in 1984, The Impact of Social Policy analyses and
evaluates the effects of social policy on British society in the
post-war period. The focus is on the consequences of social policy
and the authors differentiate clearly between the objectives of
social policy and what it actually achieves. What governments and
individuals claim that social policy does, and what happens in
practice, are not always one and the same thing. George and Wilding
examine the impact of social policy in a coherent and logical way,
looking at the social, the economic and the political aspects. They
conclude that social services are conducive to economic growth, and
that they are an important instrument for enhancing social
well-being although they do not reduce socio-economic inequalities
to any substantial degree. They also point out that although social
services buttress political stability, they have not prevented a
political crisis in the welfare state. This book will be of
interest to students of sociology, public policy, political
science, and economics.
