The Political Economy of the Irish Welfare State: Church, State and Capital

Fred Powell (Department of Applied Social Studies, National University of Ireland, Cork)

A fascinating interpretation of the evolution of social policy in modern Ireland, as the product of a triangulated relationship between church, state and capital. The book offers a new and challenging view on the interface between structure and agency in the formation and democratic purpose of welfare states, as they increasingly come under critical review and restructuring.
