Biografisk notat
Gideon Calder is a Reader in Ethics and Social Philosophy at the University of South Wales. Jeremy Gass is a Visiting Lecturer at the University of South Wales. Kirsten Merrill-Glover is Head of Community Learning at the University of South Wales.A valuable, wide-ranging assessment of where Beveridge's welfare state stands in the early years of the 21st century. It should be of interest to both students of social policy and a wider readership. Ruth Lister, Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, Loughborough University and member of the House of Lords. The authors cast a committed but critical eye over the past performance of the British welfare state in relation to Beveridge's '5 Giants' over the 70 years since his 1942 report, and examine current issues that are key to its future. The combination of its grounding in the specific context of Wales on the one hand and its wide range of topics on the other gives this volume a unique and valuable perspective.
