The Welfare Debate

Frank Field

Chapter 15 in Welfare and Values, 1997, pp 165-175 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Over the last four centuries a powerful movement has been at work incorporating people into civil society. The seventeenth century was concerned with limiting the arbitrary power of the monarch; the eighteenth century in gaining equal rights before the law. The nineteenth century established the right to vote and the twentieth century focused on gaining economic and welfare rights.
