Book Overview: '...I would certainly recommend many of the chapters to undergraduate readers as good clear summaries of issues and developments in British social policy...many of the contributors feel the decline debate is all but over...If this is the case, this text will stand as an intelligent and thought-provoking epitaph.' - Michael Cunningham, Political Studies
