内容説明

This work is based on the proposition that the welfare state involves the production of goods and services, and that examining the technology used in such production and how it has changed, will contribute to the understanding of particular services and of the development of the welfare state. The book contributes to the current debate about "crisis" in the welfare state and looks at its future viability while demonstrating the potential contribution that an analysis of technological change could offer in the formation of theoretical bases for the development of welfare state systems.
