The author: Wayne Sumner

Reviews of the book:

Ben Eggleston, University of Pittsburgh
"Among its virtues is that it is an excellent introduction to the field of welfare studies: presupposing no knowledge of the field, its clear organization and lucid prose make it accessible to beginning graduate students, and perhaps advanced undergraduates. But unlike a mere introduction, Sumner’s work presents the views of someone who has thought carefully and expertly about advancing the field. It promises to become a central point of reference and debate for those interested in the nature and value of welfare."
