What Is the Welfare State For? - Paul Spicker
Most states in the world make some provision for the welfare of their citizens. Every state engages with health care provision, almost all provide education services, and, after an explosion of interest in recent years, a substantial majority now have national schemes in place for cash assistance. Welfare states matter for peopleâ ™s lives â “ but there is little agreement about what one is. What are these states trying to do, and why? The book discusses the institutions and methods that characterise welfare states around the world. It focuses on the aims, purposes and justifications for social welfare services in order to explain what the welfare state is for.

Up in the Air - Holly Smith
Up in the Air tells the story of Britain’s multi-storey council housing from its beginnings to the present day. Throughout its history, high rise has been a symbol of the welfare state for better or worse. Here, Holly Smith tells a new story from the perspective of those who lived there, exploring how residents grappled with this brave new world above the old skyline. Through a series of historical moments based upon prize-winning research, we confront the human story of high-rise Britain. Interrogating the complex inheritance of mid-century urban reconstruction, Smith shows how these buildings became a crucible for the welfare state’s reimagination over the decades. She traces the scattering of a local community during the construction of Park Hill in Sheffield in the 1950s. The resistance of residents after the Ronan Point collapse of 1968. The formation of a pioneering tenants’ cooperative to revive a crumbling estate during the closure of the Docklands. The rage of a National Tower Blocks Network advocating for high-rise safety in the 1980s and 1990s. The excitement of early digital culture in a Liverpudlian pensioners’ high-rise internet television show in the 2000s. And the fierce battle to defend estates from demolition in the 2010s.Up in the Air is a rich history of political struggle within Britain’s most misunderstood buildings, offering essential lessons for a reformed social housing compact.

The Fourth Revolution - John Micklethwait, Adrian Wooldridge
In The Fourth Revolution, John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge ask: what is the state actually for? Their remarkable book describes the three great revolutions in its history, and the fourth which is happening nowIn most of the states of the West, disillusion with government has become endemic. Gridlock in America; anger in much of Europe; cynicism in Britain; decreasing legitimacy everywhere. Most of us are resigned to the fact that nothing is ever going to change. But as John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge show us in this galvanizing book, this is a seriously limited view of things. In response to earlier crises in government, there have been three great revolutions, which have brought about in turn the nation-state, the liberal state and the welfare state. In each, Europe and America have set the example. We are now, they argue, in the midst of a fourth revolution in the history of the nation-state, but this time the Western way is in danger of being left behind.The Fourth Revolution brings the crisis into full view and points towards our future. The authors have enjoyed extraordinary access to influential figures and forces the world over, and the book is a global tour of the innovators. The front lines are in Chinese-oriented Asia, where experiments in state-directed capitalism and authoritarian modernization have ushered in an astonishing period of development. Other emerging nations are producing striking new ideas, from Brazil s conditional cash-transfer welfare system to India s application of mass-production techniques in hospitals. These governments have not by any means got everything right, but they have embraced the spirit of active reform and reinvention which in the past has provided so much of the West s comparative advantage.The race is not just one of efficiency, but one to see which political values will triumph in the twenty-first century: the liberal values of democracy and freedom or the authoritarian values of command and control. The centre of gravity is shifting quickly, and the stakes could not be higher.

Welfare for a Humane Future - David Matthews, Howard Waitzkin
Welfare for people in need always contains profound contradictions. Under capitalism, the welfare state reinforces exploitation and discrimination, yet working people have fought for welfare, which protects against the worst excesses of capitalism. Given the important benefits that welfare can provide, we need to consider the components of a post-capitalist welfare system, one that actually meets the needs of working people. A post-capitalist welfare system puts into practice the values of love, care, solidarity, and cooperation. Such principles are incompatible with the values of racial capitalism. So we work for a post-capitalist alternative. We trace the emphasis on love as a source of revolutionary motivation to key works by Karl Marx, Che Guevara, leaders of Back Lives Matter, and others trying to move beyond racial capitalism. A transformed welfare system depends on communities whose collective values nurture care and wellbeing. Communal institutions that provide welfare services are key. We analyse the eventual failures of historical utopian communities and also some strengths and limitations of communal institutions that have implemented welfare systems in actually existing socialist countries. A transformation of values depends on a bottom-up aspiration, not imposed by a state apparatus. We examine three examples of communal governance linked to development of post-capitalist welfare systems: the Rojava revolution in northern Syria, the Bolivarian revolutionary process in Venezuela, and Cooperation Jackson in Mississippi. These examples provide illuminating details about the contrasting theoretical underpinnings, practical implementation of community-based institutions and governance, strengths and limitations of these approaches, and concrete details of welfare systems that move beyond racial capitalism and the capitalist welfare state. These examples all include the creation of solidarity economies linked to community-based welfare systems that foster mutual aid and reject the inherently exploitative characteristics of racial capitalism. Local assemblies become the most direct means of confronting the capitalist state, usually at the level of the municipality. A transitional platform for post-capitalist welfare includes four key components: democratic control over public funds, community-based cooperatives and mutual aid, expanded access to housing, and promotion of community wellbeing. Within our communities today, existing institutions and organizations provide spaces relatively free from capitalist values. Institutions and organizations that emphasize justice and resistance often provide mutual aid that forms the basis of a post-capitalist welfare system. We explain what mutual aid actually entails, demonstrating the fundamental concepts and goals associated with it and what type of mutual aid these institutions and organizations can implement. Focusing on housing, health, and income maintenance, we analyse important examples of mutual aid and cooperative organizations that now provide these services. Such organizations allow those who use and support the services to exert influence over their management. Improved access to housing in Cooperation Jackson and similar efforts involving community land trusts, as well as cooperative housing schemes in Britain, show achievements fostered in post-capitalist systems. Community-based health initiatives in multiple countries and social contexts show the feasibility and advantages of providing such services outside public or private insurance programs. A post-capitalist welfare system is community-based and controlled by the community rather than the state. Communities establish welfare institutions based on mutual aid and cooperatives to help build a society rooted in love, care, solidarity, and dignity. As the creators of Cooperation Jackson advise, now is the time for building the future in the present.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markleâ ™s â ˜exitâ ™ cast light on institutional racism, multiple allegations around Prince Andrew highlighted troubling attitudes to gender and power, while the abolition of monarchy in Barbados accentuated its relationship to colonialism. But what is the monarchy actually for? Does it benefit the UK, or cause more harm than good? The death of Queen Elizabeth II and the dawn of the Carolean age makes these questions more pertinent than ever. Breaking longstanding myths around the monarchy, Clancy demystifies and evaluates the monarchy, showing why republicanism is nothing to be scared of.

What is the Grass - Mark Doty
Mark Doty has always felt haunted by Walt Whitmanâ ™s bold, new American voice, and by his equally radical claims about body and soul and what it means to be a self. In What Is the Grass, Doty â “ a poet, a lover of men, a New Yorker, and an American â “ keeps company with Whitman and his mutable, landmark work, Leaves of Grass, tracing the resonances between his own experience and the legendary poetâ ™s life and work.What is it, then, between us? Whitman asks. Dotyâ ™s answer is to explore spaces tied to Whitmanâ ™s life and spaces where he finds the poetâ ™s ghost, meditating on desire, love, and the mysterious wellsprings of the poetâ ™s enduring work. How does a voice survive death? What Is the Grass is a conversation across time and space, a study of the astonishment one poet finds in the accomplishment of another, and an attempt to grasp Whitmanâ ™s deeply hopeful vision of humanity.

Changing Planet: What Is the Environmental Impact of Human Migration and Settlement? - Sally Morganová
This interesting book examines how human migration and settlement has affected planet Earth. From the earliest times humans have shaped and changed the landscape. The book will provides many historical and modern-day examples of changes to our planet caused by migration and settlement. As people need more land for farming and to build towns and cities, natural habitats and wilderness areas are destroyed. In countries such as India and China the urbanization of the population and the rapid growth of cities is creating pollution problems and adding to the problem of carbon emissions that are causing climate change. The growth of transport infrastructure between our “settlements” has made the daily migration of commuting easier, another contributor to increasing carbon emissions.

Tanked - Paul Wallace
In the autumn of 2022, Liz Truss took Britain on a journey into economic la-la land and comprehensively tanked the economy. The result? Higher mortgages and rents, high inflation, debt at an eye-watering £2.7 trillion and a sluggish economy rapidly falling behind our (ex-)European partners. As economic journalist Paul Wallace argues in this incisive, expert and accessible book, this was low point of a once supercharged economy that has over the last 15 years not recovered from the financial crash of 2008. Written over ten chapters tackling the most important issues (Brexit, debt, the City, immigration, manufacturing, levelling up, public services) Wallace asks in clear, jargon-free prose what the problems are, and what we can do to solve them. He offers a ten-point plan to get our economy back and track, building on its most resilient aspects. Part-primer, part passionate argument, Tanked is the perfect book for anyone who wants to know their quantitive easing from their bond market, and to understand the how Britain devalued itself. Trenchant, clear and comes complete with solutions. Essential reading SIMON JENKINS An exceptionally clear-eyed account of the malaise that afflicts the UK economy... this is a must-read analysis ALEX DEAN, MANAGING EDITOR, PROSPECT Crisp, comprehensive and forensic, Tanked casts an unflinching eye across the British economic horizon TOM CLARK, EDITOR OF BROKE: FIXING BRITAIN S POVERTY CRISIS

California, a Slave State - Jean Pfaelzer
The untold history of slavery and resistance in California, from the Spanish missions, indentured Native American ranch hands, Indian boarding schools, Black miners, kidnapped Chinese prostitutes, and convict laborers to victims of modern trafficking  ⠜A searing survey of â ˜250 years of human bondageâ ™ in what is now the state of California. . . . Readers will be outraged.â â ”Publishers Weekly  ⠜A devastatingly detailed, urgent, and somewhat regretful confirmation of an inconvenient truth: Far from being the place where everyone got an equal chance, California embraced slavery from the outset.â â ”Erin Aubry Kaplan, Los Angeles Times  California owes its origins and sunny prosperity to slavery. Spanish invaders captured Indigenous people to build the chain of Catholic missions. Russian otter hunters shipped Alaska Nativesâ ”the first slaves transported into Californiaâ ”and launched a Pacific slave triangle to China. Plantation slaves were marched across the plains for the Gold Rush. San Quentin Prison incubated Californiaâ ™s carceral state. Kidnapped Chinese girls were sold in caged brothels in early San Francisco. Indian boarding schools supplied new farms and hotels with unfree child workers.  By looking west to California, Jean Pfaelzer upends our understanding of slavery as a North-South struggle and reveals how the enslaved in California fought, fled, and resisted human bondage. In unyielding research and vivid interviews, Pfaelzer exposes how California gorged on slavery, an appetite that persists today in a global trade in human beings lured by promises of jobs but who instead are imprisoned in sweatshops and remote marijuana grows, or sold as nannies and sex workers.  Slavery shreds Californiaâ ™s utopian brand, rewrites our understanding of the West, and redefines Americaâ ™s uneasy paths to freedom.
