Care is no longer a private concern. In the era of high modernity, characterized by population aging, family fragmentation and the entry of women into the paid workforce, it has become a major public issue. This important text offers a systematic, comparative analysis of the sociology, philosophy and emergent practices of care in the context of the political economy of post-industrial societies.

Industry Reviews

'...I would recommend this text to anyone with a concern about the future of our profession and its management in these 'modernising' times...I see his most important contribution as one that looks to transform care from a matter of personal sacrifice to one of reciprocity, of citizenship, the right to both receive and give care being as importan as a right to work.' - Steve Moore, Professional Social Work
