This book examines a familiar and contemporary social policy issue-the crisis besetting social care-but differs from usual accounts by including additional perspectives (philosophical, ethical and political) not often raised but nonetheless crucial to understanding the issue. Its central argument is that while a health/care divide dates back to legislative separation at the inception of the welfare state in the 1940s, the major cause of the current crisis has been the slow but insidious ideological and practical splitting off and fracturing of social care from other state welfare institutions, notably the NHS, and its consequent entrapment in the treacherous straits of 'profit and loss', self-interest and individualism. These issues and others, the book argues, contribute to the building of a strong case for bringing social care into the public sector. Towards the end, the book goes on to consider the impact, from 2020, of the Covid 19 pandemic on a caring crisis that was already well-established. The consequences of this global shock are still working through and are likely to be profound. Solutions, as the book describes, which were already being formulated prior to the arrival of the pandemic, are even more salient now. The book will therefore be of interest to students and researchers of social policy and public policy, health and social care professionals and policymakers - and users of social care themselves. Gillian Dalley is a social anthropologist and has been an independent researcher for more than a decade, completing most recently a project on the financial abuse of people lacking mental capacity, for Brunel University London, funded by the Dawes Trust. She is the author of Ideologies of Caring: Rethinking community and collectivism, and, in a long career, has worked for several London-based organisations including the King's Fund, the Policy Studies Institute and the Centre for Policy on Ageing, as well as working as a senior NHS quality manager, and as a researcher at the former MRC Medical Sociology Unit in Aberdeen in the early 1980s.

This is the first book in welfare economics to be primarily intended for undergraduates and non-specialists. Concepts such as Pareto optimality in a market economy, the compensation criterion, and the social welfare function are explored in detail. Market failures are analysed by using different ways of measuring welfare changes. The book also examines public choice, and the issues of provision of public goods, median voter equilibrium, government failures, efficient and optimal taxation, and intergenerational equity. The three final chapters are devoted to applied welfare economics: methods for revealing people's preferences, cost-benefit analysis, and project evaluation in a risky world. The book is intended for introductory and intermediate courses in welfare economics, microeconomics, and public economics. It will also be suitable for courses in health economics, environmental economics, and cost-benefit analysis, as well as those undertaking project evaluations in government agencies and private firms.

In het 17de-eeuwse pomphuis werden hardnekkige werkweigeraars opgesloten die alleen door hard labeur - pompen - letterlijk het hoofd boven water konden houden. In onze actieve welvaartsstaat worden laaggeschoolde werklozen dwingend aangemaand hun "basic skills" bij te schaven met het oog op hun plaats op de arbeidsmarkt. Zoniet dreigen er sancties.Ook voor wie werk heeft, is er de permanente onzekerheid. Een job voor het leven behoort tot het verleden. In de globaliserende economie wordt levenslang leren een instrument van flexibiliteit en inzetbaarheid - employability. Voor de begeleidende instanties, van volwasseneneducatie over welzijnswerk tot vakbonden, groeit de druk om dit sterk fluctuerende arbeidsleger gewillig in permanente mobilisatie te houden.Moet er niet meer gewerkt worden aan de weerbaarheid van laaggeschoolden? Is de levenslange veroordeling tot leren een teken van vooruitgang? Is om het even welke arbeid een remedie tegen uitsluiting? En moet niet veeleer de uitsluiting dan wel de uitgeslotene geviseerd worden? Een nieuwe invulling van het nobele begrip levenslang leren is nodig om te vermijden dat de (basis)educatie het pomphuis van de 21ste eeuw wordt. Zelfontplooiing staat daarbij centraal.

Het boek bevat de getuigenissen van Emma Cabré, Pieter van Volxem en Nancy Maes, Johan Verminnen, Reinilde Bergmans, Rudy Biasin, Dirk Tieleman, Anne-Marie Appeltans en Luc Dujardin over hoe ze tussen de mazen van het socialezekerheidsnet vallen. Minister van Sociale Zaken en Pensioenen Frank Vandenbroucke geeft er commentaar bij. Deze verhalen zijn het vertrekpunt voor het verrassende antwoord van Frank Vandenbroucke, minister van Sociale Zaken en Pensioenen. Dagelijks krijgt hij signalen uit een samenleving die steeds ingewikkelder wordt. Arbeids- en relatievormen veranderen, nieuwe ziekten duiken op en behandelingen worden beter maar duurder. Werk aan de winkel dus. Mensen zoals u en ik : gezonde en zieke mensen, gezinshoofden en alleenstaanden, druk bezette vrouwen en mannen die met pensioen moeten gaan. Negen kleine Belgen doen een snijdende aanklacht. Ze vallen tussen de mazen van het sociale zekerheidsnet en leggen ongenadig de tekortkomingen van het systeem bloot.
