Peter Leonard provides an accessible analysis of debates about the crisis of
the welfare state under the contemporary conditions of postmodern scepticism
and the triumphs of global market capitalism. In the last two decades Western
governments have sought to replace the post-war welfare compact with neo-
conservative individualism. The prospects for the Left look bleak. At the same
time, postmodern critique raises profound questions about the validity of a
mass politics of emancipation based on the universal values of justice, reason
and progress.
From a critical perspective founded in Marxism and feminism, Leonard uses
elements of postmodern deconstruction to consider how we might now re-think
the present and future of welfare. He draws the reader into a dialogue about
the implications for reconstructing welfare: of changes in ideas about the
individual subject; the context of culture and racism; the organization of
welfare; the nature of 'the new economy'; and the possibilities of a politics
of resistance.
