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.
