Empowerment Series: The Reluctant Welfare State

By: Bruce S. Jansson

Written by one of the foremost scholars of social welfare, this book analyzes the evolution of the American welfare state from colonial times to the present--placing social policy in its political, cultural and societal context. Part of the Empowerment Series, Jansson's THE RELUCTANT WELFARE STATE, 9th Edition helps students develop the core competencies and practice behaviors outlined in the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Rather than passively reading, students interact with the issues, oppressed populations, ethical choices, social and ideological conflicts, advocates and policies in preceding eras and in the contemporary period-analytically and ethically. They also learn how vulnerable populations and social reformers have achieved progressive reforms through policy advocacy.

The Sixteen-Trillion-Dollar Mistake

How the U.S. Bungled Its National Priorities from the New Deal to the Present

By: Bruce S. Jansson

Choices about budget priorities are arguably the most important made by the federal government, profoundly affecting the well-being of citizens. Bruce Jansson documents how presidents from FDR to Clinton have made ill-advised choices that wasted trillions of dollars. Going beyond charges of corruption or bureaucratic waste, the book is an eye-opening exposé revealing innumerable useless projects (military as well as civilian), unnecessary tax concessions, and the use of interest payments to cover deficit spending, among other costly mistakes. Using Office of Management and Budget projections through 2004, Jansson shows how the madness continues—and how an informed electorate can put an end to it.
