Needs and Welfare

This book addresses the concept of need and how needs can be, and are, met in western societies. Different models of welfare provision are examined both in theoretical terms and through two case studies: of models of pension provision and of the connection between the satisfaction of needs and electoral success for governments. This timely study makes an important contribution to the understanding of welfare and politics in advanced industrial western states.Ware, Alan is the author of 'Needs and Welfare' with ISBN 9780803983045 and ISBN 0803983042.
