- This book is the first to critique the UK welfare state past, present and future from a participatory perspective. Uniquely drawing on both formal academic and experiential evidence, it explores the limitations of traditional Fabian and neoliberal social policy in involving people in improving their own welfare. It draws on the lived experience of the author's family and critiques of welfare user movements and offers a road map and proposals for sustainable and participatory welfare for the future. It draws us from abstracted ideological arguments to an exploration of how we can look after each other in future in society.
