Welfare reform in the wake of austerity has fostered increased
interest in self-help initiatives within the community sector.
Amongst these, time banking, one of a number of complementary
currency systems, has received increasing attention from policy
makers as a means for promoting welfare reform. This book is the
first to look at the concept of time within social policy to
examine time banking theory and practice. By drawing on the social
theory of time to examine the tension between time bank values and
those of policy makers, it argues that time banking is a
constructive means of promoting social change but is hindered by
its co-option into neo-liberal thinking. This book will be valuable
for academics/researchers with an interest in community-based
initiatives, the third/voluntary sectors and theoretical analysis
of social policy and political ideologies.
In this fifth edition of the best-selling core introductory
textbook, Pete Alcock and Lee Gregory provide a comprehensive and
engaging introduction to social policy. Continuing with the
unbeaten narrative style and accessible approach of the previous
editions, the authors explore the major topics of social policy in
a clear and digestible way. By breaking down the complexities
behind policy developments and their outcomes, the book
demonstrates the relationship between core areas of policy and the
society we live in. This new edition has been thoroughly revised
and updated to cover the impact of Brexit and contains reflections
on the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic for social policy.
Each chapter contains comprehension activities to aid
understanding, as well as helpful summary points and suggestions
for further reading.

This study seeks to critically examine the field and function of
social stratification, with emphasis on Africana phenomena. Phrased
another way, this edited volume attempts to study and focus on who
gets what and why, with regard to resources and structural
application of support. The John Henrik Clarke query is who made
this arrangement of leadership in America. Moreover, serving as a
reference, this study will assist researchers in contextualizing
and thematically examining the structural and resource allocation
of disparity exhibited toward Africana people. This manuscript of
essays is the first its kind. This study incorporates an
interdisciplinary scope to examine the concept of Africana Social
Stratification in the subject areas of: history, political science,
economics, Africana Studies, and social policy.
