From the General Introduction by editor David Reisman: "...[T]he perspective that most decisively unites these ten classic texts from 1931 to 1968, from the unemployment and deprivation of the Great Depression to the affluence and technocracy of the National Plan, is the conviction that the State is a complement and not a threat to the individual's liberty." The texts are: Vol.1: R.H. Tawney, Equality (1931,1952); Vol.2: Robert Hall, The Economic System in a Socialist State (1937); Vol.3: A.C. Pigou, Socialism Versus Capitalism (1937); Vol.4: Harold Macmillan, The Middle Way (1938); Vol.5: Evan Durbin, The Politics of Democratic Socialism (1940); Vol.6: James Meade, Planning and the Price Mechanism (1948); Vol.7: Anthony Crosland, The Future of Socialism (1956); Vol.8: John Strachey, Contemporary Capitalism (1956); Vol.9: Andrew Shonfield, Modern Capitalism (1965); and Vol.10: Richard Titmuss, Commitment to Welfare (1968).

This book explains the changes that have occurred in welfare states since the early 1970s and considers some of the policy dilemmas that have arisen. Each of the chapters begins with an introduction to set the scene, followed by an examination of the theoretical and conceptual perspectives of the sector under discussion. Chapters analyse the major changes in the sectors, with issue-based conclusions highlighting the policy dilemmas identified in the chapters. The influence of ideology and values is given prominence throughout. Although each of the sectors has its own chapter, the book emphasises the importance of the relationships between the sectors, allowing each sector's place in the production and delivery of welfare to be assessed.
As the state withdraws from welfare provision, the mixed economy of welfare – involving private, voluntary and informal sectors – has become ever more important. This second edition of Powell’s acclaimed textbook on the subject brings together a wealth of respected contributors. New features of this revised edition include: • An updated perspective on the mixed economy of welfare (MEW) and social division of welfare (SDW) in the context of UK Coalition and Conservative governments • A conceptual framework that links the MEW and SDW with debates on topics of major current interest such as ‘Open Public Services’, ‘Big Society’, Any Qualified Provider’, Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and ‘Public Private Partnerships’ (PPP) Containing helpful features such as summaries, questions for discussion, further reading suggestions and electronic resources, this will be a valuable introductory resource for students of social policy, social welfare and social work at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
