{"product_id":"unemployment-and-government-william-walters-9780521643337","title":"Unemployment and Government: Genealogies of the Social","description":"This book follows the invention and transformation of unemployment, understood as a historically specific site of regulation. Taking key aspects of the history of unemployment in Britain as its focus, it argues that the ways in which authorities have defined and sought to manage the jobless have been remarkably varied. The book examines such institutionalized practices as the labor bureau, unemployment insurance, and the present \"New Deal\" as \"technologies\" of power. The result is a challenge to our thinking about welfare states.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Walters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521643333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521643337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"William Walters","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965727654143,"sku":"9780521643337","price":127.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd244410-7912-4605-9f8c-67876a2b5b94.jpg?v=1767284396","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unemployment-and-government-william-walters-9780521643337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
