More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"This is a reasoned yet passionate critique of contract and public choice theory and charts a way forward for a progressive social policy." --Professor Ian Gough, Department of Social and Policy Sciences, University of Bath
"Bill Jordan writes in a lucid and elegant way about the limitations of material conceptions of well-being and of the contract model of welfare. Jordan covers a wide array of material and approaches, all seamlessly woven together to provide an easily accessible but profound insight into the delivery of public services in Britain today. His account of the way marketized social relations become corrosive of civic character is both chilling and timely." --Louise Haagh, University of York
