Welfare and Values: Challenging the Culture of Unconcern - Thryft
Welfare and Values: Challenging the Culture of Unconcern - Thryft

Ethical exploration of welfare's societal impact.

If the intersection of economics, ethics, and societal welfare intrigues you, "Welfare and Values" can offer a multifaceted perspective that challenges the status quo. The blend of political, philosophical, and theological discussions alongside real-world initiatives paints a comprehensive picture and suggests that solutions to welfare issues are as complex as the problems themselves. This book would suit anyone looking to deepen their understanding of modern welfare challenges and the values driving our responses to them.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This interdisciplinary collection of essays takes a hard look at the gap between increasingly costs expectations of welfare including other social needs and available revenues. It shows that the issue is not a purely economic and certainly not a party-political one, but that it has significant ethical, some call it spiritual, components. From providing initially a broad account of welfare economics it presents contributions from political philosophers and theologians as well as accounts of successful initiatives to indicate the direction for solutions which will correspond to the complex realities of post-modern society.
