Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
As editors Morris and Hansan make clear, the United States is
truly the reluctant welfare state. Unlike other industrialized
nations, the United States has never adopted a universal policy to
support a minimum economic standard for children and their
families. And, with the passage of the 1996 Personal Responsibility
and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, the United States became
the first industrialized nation to shift primary responsibility for
cash welfare to subordinate units of government.
In this collection of essays by leading experts on welfare
policy, the major issues of personal responsibility versus
dependence, child development, and federal versus state, local, and
private responsibility are examined in the light of the 1996 Act.
By objectively analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of current
welfare reform, the volume provides significant objective insights
for federal, state, and local policy makers. It will also be of
interest to students, academic researchers, and the general public
concerned with the nature of quality of public welfare policy.
The changing economic conditions of the 1990s now demand a
review of the framework and adaptation to conditions currently
prevailing in the government's role in social welfare. Recognizing
that the national political leadership no longer was willing to
support all of the public programs and benefits that it had
initiated in the past 50 years, the authors assume that a
downsizing of the national government's role in social welfare will
occur. This volume explores how downsizing will affect the private
sector, nonprofit organizations, families, and individuals, while
including specific recommendations and suggestions on how social
welfare programs can be reformed or modified.
