概要 This is a path-breaking study of welfare restructuring by a radical scholar of international repute. Peck offers a thorough, well grounded, and politically committed critique of the origins, the disc...urses, the general strategic line, the local variations, the policy turnover, the failures, and the sorry consequences of the current workfare offensive in the United States. He is equally devastating on attempts to develop workfare states in Canada and Britain. He concludes by calling for the reform of work to replace punitive treatment of those without it.
This book examines the political economy of workfare, the umbrella term for welfare-to-work initiatives that have been steadily gaining ground since candidate Bill Clinton's 1992 promise to "end welfare as we know it." Peck traces the development, diffusion, and implementation of workfare policies in the United States, and their export to Canada and the United Kingdom. He explores how reforms have been shaped by labor markets and political conditions, how gender and race come into play, and how local programs fit into the broader context of neoliberal economics and globalization. The book cogently demonstrates that workfare rarely involves large-scale job creation, but is more concerned with deterring welfare claims and necessitating the acceptance of low-paying, unstable jobs. Integrating labor market theory, critical policy analysis, and extensive field research, Peck exposes the limitations of workfare policies and points toward more equitable alternatives. 続きを見る
