Text of Note

"Richard Titmuss, Professor at the London School of Economics, adviser to governments, prolific author, attempted to integrate the study of welfare into a broader theory of economy and society. He was instrumental in shaping the new discipline of Social Policy and Administration and made a valuable contribution to the philosophy of altruism, entitlement and citizenship. Titmuss was a difficult author. This book seeks to explain and evaluate the contribution of a provocative and controversial social scientist who was not afraid to cross the boundaries of the academic disciplines. Relying on unpublished lectures as well as on all of Titmuss's books and articles, this edition of Richard Titmuss: Welfare and Society, thoroughly revised, shows that the pieces of the puzzle make up a coherent whole. The argument is divided into four parts: The Status of Social Policy, Selectivity, Universalism and The Failure of the Market. The conclusion reached is that Titmuss brought together a number of arguments and issues in an ambitious intellectual system which remains of interest to anyone seeking to explore the relationship between welfare and society."--Jacket.
