In response, much of the book has been revised and all the figures and tables have been updated." "Understanding the Finance of Welfare has been designed to fit the needs of social policy student syllabuses where it has become an essential text. It is also important to students of public policy and economics and those training as teachers, medical students and social workers. But it will also be of interest to the general public because there is no more important political topic today than how social services are funded."--Jacket
