Social Exclusion (Issues in Society)

"'Social exclusion' is the buzz phrase for the complex range of social problems which derive from the substantial increase in social inequality in Western societies. This volume examines these problems in societies where manufacturing industry is no longer the main basis for employment and the universal welfare states established after the Second World War are under attack. It reviews theories of social exclusion including the Christian democratic and social democratic assertions of solidarity with which the term originated, Marxist accounts of the recreation of the reserve army of labour, and neo-liberal assertions of the sovereignty of the market in which the blame for exclusion is assigned to the excluded themselves."--BOOK JACKET.

המשפט הראשון: William Hazlitt was writing against capital punishment - against a method for the elimination of the 'useless' poor - which took the form in principle of suspending them from the neck until dead for stealing goods worth more than a shilling.
