Young people today are being robbed. Of their rights. Of their freedom. Of their dignity. Of their futures. The culprits? The previous generation and its predecessors, who either created or failed to stop the world-straddling engine of theft, degradation, manipulation, and social control we call the welfare state. The welfare state is responsible for two current crises: the financial crisis that has slowed down or even reversed growth and stalled economies around the world, and the debt crisis that is gripping Europe, the United States, and other countries. It has piled mountains of debt on the shoulders of the most vulnerable among us, children and young people, and has issued promises that are impossible to fulfill. The crisis of unfunded obligations is approaching. It won't be pretty. History, economics, sociology, political science, and mathematics are the tools to understand and evaluate welfare states, rather than emotional responses or conspiracy theories. This little book is for those who prefer to ask hard questions and to pursue them with open minds. It is time to ask the hard questions about what the welfare state has wrought, whether it is sustainable, and what should come after the welfare state.… (más)

"After the Welfare State" is another of those wonderful and excellent little volumes from Jameson Books that people could and should buy by the carton to distribute, especially among young people.
This one, though, might not be especially accessible to young students, especially of government schools: It has a more complex vocabulary than some of the other Jameson Books.
College students should have no difficulties, and perhaps above-average high school students also should be able to read and understand -- and, in fact, it's very important they be given the chance to read and understand these ideas and concepts.
Some of my favorite pro-human rights and individual liberty thinkers have works present in this slim volume, including David Beito, Johan Norberg, and Michael Tanner.
Tom Palmer is listed as editor, but I believe that means, in this case, he's the guy who chose the contents and writers.
This is a book I will keep beside my office desk for use as a reference work. It is one I more than admire. It is one I want to share with many thousands of teachers, parents, schools, libraries, and especially with young people who might not get much opportunity to learn about human rights and individual liberty otherwise.
Jameson Books is doing more for genuine education in these United States than most institutions that claim to be trying to educate. ( )

Itt most nem elemezném a könyv fordításának körülményeit, legyen itt elég annyi, hogy a jóléti államról szóló libertárius esszégyűjtemény ingyen elérhető.

Palmer láthatóan úgy válogatta az esszéket, hogy a jóléti államot többféle szempontból is elemezzék. Ennek ellenére érződik a köteten, hogy különálló elemzések válogatása: időnként ismétlődésekbe futunk, időnként túl nagy ugrás van az elemzések között.

Az esszék egy része nem tartalmazott sok újdonságot. Nyilván egy ilyen kötetben kell írni a görög válságról, de aki kezébe vesz egy ilyen könyvet az már szinte biztos olvasott több elemzést a görögökről. Sokkal érdekesebb volt számomra az olaszokról szóló rész. Én már szinte mindig csak elrettentő példaként olvastam az olaszokról, furcsa volt olvasni, hogy valamikor a lírát a Nyugat legstabilabb valutájaként ünnepelték. Legjobban talán a XIX-XX. századi brit önsegélyező "baráti társaságok" bemutatása tetszett, leginkább azért, mert erről szinte még semmit sem olvastam.Önmagában ezért megérte elolvasni a könyvet.

Meg kell azt is jegyeznem, hogy a kötet címe eléggé félrevezető. Sokkal többet olvashatunk a jóléti állam kialakulásáról, fenttarthatatlanságáról mint a jóléti állam utáni időszakról. Ez nem meglepő, a libertáriusok nem szeretik a társadalmi mérnökösködést, de nem magyarázat arra, miért nem lehetett a kötetnek más címet választani. ( )
