| Beschreibung: | Master and use copy. Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references (p. 237-257) and index Introduction: Absence of Rational Authority -- 1. The Rhetoric of Welfare -- 2. The Assumptions of Welfare Reform -- 3. Welfare and Work -- 4. Welfare, Family Structure, and Intergenerational Dependency -- 5. Reforming Welfare with Work: Training Programs for Welfare Recipients -- 6. Personal Social Services and Welfare -- 7. Conclusion: Generosity Welfare in America is a scathing attack on the social scientists, policy makers, and politicians responsible for programs meant to help our nation's poorest citizens. William M. Epstein charges that most current social welfare programs are not held to credible standards in their design or their results. Rather than spending less on such research and programs, however, Epstein suggests we should spend much more, and do the job right. The American public and policymakers must be able to rely on social science research for objective, credible information when trying to solve problems of employment, affordable housing, effective health care, and family integrity. But, Epstein contends, politicians treat welfare issues as ideological battlegrounds; they demand immediate results from questionable data and implement policies long before social researchers can complete their analyses. Social scientists often play into the political agenda, supporting poorly conceived programs and doing little to test and revise them. Analyzing Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and the recent welfare reform act, Food Stamps, Medicaid, job training, social services, and other programs, Epstein systematically challenges the conservative's vain hope that neglect is therapeutic for the poor, as well as the liberal's conceit that a little bit of assistance is sufficient |

Reforming Welfare with Work: Training Programs for Welfare Recipients -- 6. Personal Social Services and Welfare -- 7. Conclusion: Generosity Welfare in America is a scathing attack on the social scientists, policy makers, and politicians responsible for programs meant to help our nation's poorest citizens. William M. Epstein charges that most current social welfare programs are not held to credible standards in their design or their results. Rather than spending less on such research and programs, however, Epstein suggests we should spend much more, and do the job right. The American public and policymakers must be able to rely on social science research for objective, credible information when trying to solve problems of employment, affordable housing, effective health care, and family integrity. But, Epstein contends, politicians treat welfare issues as ideological battlegrounds; they demand immediate results from questionable data and implement policies long before social researchers can complete their analyses. Social scientists often play into the political agenda, supporting poorly conceived programs and doing little to test and revise them. Analyzing Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and the recent welfare reform act, Food Stamps, Medicaid, job training, social services, and other programs, Epstein systematically challenges the conservative's vain hope that neglect is therapeutic for the poor, as well as the liberal's conceit that a little bit of assistance is sufficient POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Services & Welfare bisacsh SOCIAL SCIENCE / Human Services bisacsh Economic policy fast Poverty fast Public welfare fast Public welfare / Philosophy fast Social policy fast Social problems fast Social sciences / Philosophy fast Sociale politiek gtt Sociale voorzieningen gtt Sociaal-wetenschappelijk onderzoek gtt Poverty / United States Social sciences / Philosophy Public welfare / United States Social problems / United States Public welfare / Philosophy / United States Philosophie Sozialwissenschaften Wirtschaftspolitik Public welfare United States Philosophy Public welfare United States Social sciences Philosophy Poverty United States Social problems United States Sozialpolitik (DE-588)4055879-4 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Sozialpolitik (DE-588)4055879-4 s 1\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 0-299-15590-0 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 0-299-15594-3 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-299-15590-2 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-0-299-15594-0 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=18958 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
