Synopsis

In this study of the welfare state the author asks whether it works and, depending on the answer, goes on to consider what this says about the success of political reform. The basic concepts of poverty and economic efficiency are considered in the light of political science, sociology and economics. The methodology of income redistribution research is restated and reconsidered, and approaches which are often regarded as alternatives are examined. The author provides a framework for the analysis of public policy within the theory of rational action and analyzes this under six headings: legitimacy, governability, poverty, equality, efficiency and activity.
