Sinopsis

This is aáprint on demandábook and is therefore non- returnable. Between 1992 and 1995, the Center for Public Justice, a Christian civic-education and public-policy think tank undertook an extended project named the Welfare Responsibility Inquiry. In May 1994, the project hosted a conference in Washington, DC, on Public Justice and Welfare Reform. The project involved, at its center, a group of scholars who met periodically to discuss the issues involved. Those scholars then wrote the papers which are collected ináWelfare in America. Welfare in America, James Skillen writes, argues that assistance to the needy does not, and should not, come primarily from government. Government, whether at federal or state levels, should help hold people accountable to their various institutional and personal responsibilities rather than fill in for every failure. The range of topics addressed ináWelfare in Americaáis extensive. Though no reader will agree with everything here, those whose calling requires them to think through this issue with care will be wise to include Welfare in America in their list of books to be read.Contributors: Stanley Carlson-Thies Jean Bethke Elshtain Max Stackhouse Bob Goudzwaard Mary Ann Glendon Stephanie Collins James Skillen John Mason Stephen Mott Lawrence Mead Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen Paul Marshall Anne Hallum Cynthia Neal Mary Van Hook John Hiemstra Charles Glenn Stephen Monsma Ronald Sider Julia Stronks Clarke Cochran
