{"product_id":"9781796247121","title":"A History of the Ideologies of the Welfare State: with Special Reference to Canada","description":"Whenever a university modernized to become a research institute the philosophy department turned to idealism. Idealism inspired the secularization of the social sciences into History, Political Science, and Economics, which were used by the government to create the welfare state. There used to be a consensus between socialism, liberalism and conservatism as to its need. I go into the past arguments in depth as a task of retrieving a way of thinking that no longer seems to be with us. The dominant ideology since the collapse of communism has been neoliberalism. In the 80s the welfare state was cut back, though not eliminated. The rationale behind the welfare state changed for the left. The state was to encourage healthy risk-taking by investing in 'human capital' while accepting free markets. Did neoliberalism assimilate the left or was there a new form of left-wing neoliberalism?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eDave McFaul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eFeb 06, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e287 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e179624712X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781796247121\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46701741637937,"sku":"9781796247121","price":16.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781796247121_ccebf2d7-cb1e-46f3-88ba-4a78f41c8733.jpg?v=1693821296","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781796247121","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
