'Fiona Williams has been a vital force in developing critical approaches to social policy. This book brilliantly consolidates and advances our thinking about welfare and welfare states - and does so in a typically subtle and stimulating way. A must-read!' John Clarke, Emeritus Professor, The Open University 'Breathtaking in its scope, Social Policy sets a challenging analytical and ethical agenda for social policy as a discipline and a praxis. And it contains important messages for all who seek to build back better from COVID-19.' Ruth Lister, Member of the House of Lords and Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, Loughborough University
