The anti-capitalist movement is increasingly challenging the global hegemony of neo-liberalism. The arguments against the neo-liberal agenda are clearly articulated in Radical Social Welfare. The authors: * hightlight the growing inequalities and decimation of state welfare * use Marxist approaches to contemporary social policy to provide a defence of the welfare state * explore the question of globalization as well as the neo-liberal agenda of the Conservative and New Labour governments in Britain

Industry Reviews
`I would encourage undergraduates students to read it, for it does summarise well a classical Marxist analysis of social policy and welfare' - Social Policy "Rethinking Welfare provides researchers and practitioners a compelling reminder of the largely structural and material forces that shape our welfare states. Rethinking Welfare provides a thoughtful and emerging resistance to the identity politics and vulgar social constructionism that has pervaded the academic world and also taken hold in many professional social work schools. The book provides a convincing caveat to the alleged success stories of free markets, structural adjustments and globalization." -- JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL WELFARE
