The author of this work develops rural social care frameworks, models, theories, approaches, principles, and methods. He does not apply mainstream ideas to rural contexts and argues on the basis of empirical evidence and documented practice that because of their structure and ideological foundations, traditional Western welfare systems have failed rural people. The book goes beyond rural issues to suggest why Western welfare systems have failed to solve the major problems facing the human race and develops more effective approaches to "social care". The critique explores the history, structural characteristics, ideological underpinnings and practice technology of traditional welfare systems and their detachment from other facets of human living such as people's relationships with their social, physical and spiritual worlds and from other sectors of human society such as market processes.
