Zusammenfassung:"In Savage State Edward J. Martin and Rodolfo D. Torres demonstrate the analytical utility of classical Marxist theory and draw on wider critical "postmodern" frameworks to argue that a critique of welfare policy within the context of capitalism is more timely and important than ever before. The authors explore the demise of welfare policy in the United States following the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and evaluate the role of the state in capitalist society along with other comparative welfare policy models. They conclude by analyzing alternative futures in an era of increased inequality. Savage State will be invaluable reading for students of sociology, politics, and social policy."--BOOK JACKET.
