{"product_id":"the-next-welfare-state-christopher-pierson-9781447361183","title":"The Next Welfare State?: UK Welfare After Covid-19","description":"COVID-19 has transformed the British welfare state. The government has created millions of new beneficiaries, spent tens of billions of pounds it doesn't have and created a mountain of public debt. And yet, when the crisis has passed, we will be left with all the old problems of welfare and well-being which we have systematically failed to address over the past 50 years. In this book, Christopher Pierson argues that we need to think quite differently about how we can ensure our collective well-being in the future. To do this, he looks backwards to the welfare state's origins and development as well as forwards, unearthing some surprising solutions in unexpected places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Pierson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447361180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447361183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Christopher Pierson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991073030399,"sku":"9781447361183","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68348d0a-53df-486e-a70f-3e8d6dba7437.jpg?v=1683308282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-next-welfare-state-christopher-pierson-9781447361183","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
