RADICAL HELP (WELFARE STATE) (PB)

The welfare state was revolutionary: it lifted thousands out of poverty, provided decent homes, good education and security. But now it’s overly elaborate, expensive and out of kilter. In this book, Hilary Cottam takes us through five 'Experiments' to show how we can re-design the welfare state for this century. At the heart of this way of working is human connection. Upending the current crisis of managing scarcity, we see instead that our capacities for the relationships that can make the changes are abundant.
