Time, Welfare and Society

Lee Gregory

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Time, Welfare and Society presents a bold reimagining of social policy by placing time, rather than money, markets or behaviour, at the centre of welfare analysis. Challenging the dominance of clock‑time, productivity and short‑termism, Lee Gregory reveals how welfare systems shape, and are shaped by, the multiple temporalities through which people live.
