Reviews

'With remarkable precision, Ursula Huws provides a chilling account of how the British welfare state has been turned upside down, no longer a mechanism for reversing inequality but for enhancing the wealth of the super-rich. She then outlines a new welfare agenda, detailing the infrastructures necessary to enhance the lives of carers and cared for alike, as well as now essential for global sustainability overall. Not to be missed!' -- Lynne Segal (from the Care Collective) 'A searing critique of how welfare cuts have hit the most vulnerable hardest - and a compelling account of how we can rebuild social security with new tech. A must read for policymakers, campaigners and trade unionists.' -- Frances O'Grady, General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress
