Private Lives as Public Policy
What is the future of the welfare state? At the start of the 21st century, a new type of welfare citizen dominates the imagination of contemporary policy makers – a citizen who accepts personal responsibility for their own well-being and who contributes to the well-being of society generally.

The book will be of interest to policy makers, practitioners and students – and anyone concerned about the future of welfare in Britain.
