Brings together recent writings which bridge the space between the political economy of modern capitalism and the values and preconditions for human flourishing, by Ian Gough, professor of social poli

Written by a team of internationally respected experts, this book explores the conditions under which social policy, defined as the public pursuit of secure welfare, operates in the poorer regions of the world. Social policy in advanced capitalist countries operates through state intervention to compensate for the inadequate welfare outcomes of the labour market. Such welfare regimes cannot easily be reproduced in poorer regions of the world where states suffer problems of governance and labour markets are imperfect and partial. Other welfare regimes therefore prevail involving non-state actors such as landlords, moneylenders and patrons. This book seeks to develop a conceptual framework for understanding different types of welfare regime in a range of countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa and makes an important contribution to the literature by breaking away from the traditional focus on Europe and North America.

In a world where many experience unprecedented levels of wellbeing, chronic poverty remains a major concern for many developing countries and the international community. Conventional frameworks for understanding development and poverty have focused on money, commodities and economic growth. This 2007 book challenges these conventional approaches and contributes to a new paradigm for development centred on human wellbeing. Poor people are not defined solely by their poverty and a wellbeing approach provides a better means of understanding how people become and stay poor. It examines three perspectives: ideas of human functioning, capabilities and needs; the analysis of livelihoods and resource use; and research on subjective wellbeing and happiness. A range of international experts from psychology, economics, anthropology, sociology, political science and development evaluate the state-of-the-art in understanding wellbeing from these perspectives. This book establishes a new strategy a

社會福利是否必然是經濟成長的負擔？這是個極具爭議的話題！但不論是贊同或是反對這種說法，都只是個片面的解答而已。高夫在這本重要的著作中，以綜融的政治經濟學分析福利國家與資本主義經濟體系之間的互賴關係。為了資本的持續累積，由國家來提供福利措施是必然的途徑，但這也引發新的危機，使資本主義國家窮於應付。實際上，福利國家的危機乃是資本主義內在矛盾的彰顯，這正是高夫在這本書的核心主張。
