Description
This is the first social work text exclusively devoted to explaining and analyzing the new conservative approaches to social work and social welfare, which will dominate social services for years to come. An historical analysis of the development of social welfare is provided, all with a detailed examination of conservative religious positions- both Catholic and Protestant. The powerful effects of economics and politics demonstrates the reasons why and where social welfare is heading. Several social policies are explicated, including the Personal Responsibility Work Opportunity Act of 1996. And conservative political and economic thinkers like Edmund Burke, Herbert Hoover, Barry Goldwater, Charles Murray, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Rose and Milton Friedman, and George Gilder are discussed.
