Timothy J. Gaffaney, "Freedom For The Poor: Welfare And The Foundations Of Democratic Citizenship"
English | 2000 | ISBN: 0813367816 | EPUB | pages: 208 | 0.5 mb
Public debates on the question of public assistance in the United States reflect long-standing disputes within liberal democratic theory on the meanings of liberty, equality, and citizenship. And, in a society which seems to prize liberty over equality, egalitarian liberals have surrendered the high ground to the New Right by neglecting to base their reasons for welfare on a solid concept of liberty. In Freedom for the Poor , Gaffaney identifies the limitations of both sides of these debates, and he offers a compelling alternative to liberal theorizing about the meaning of poverty. Drawing on a conception of liberty as being the capacity to parti[beeep]te in democratic politics, Gaffaney concludes that welfare provision is necessary for creating the conditions for full democratic citizenship. Gaffaney explicates how and why welfare benefits enable a parti[beeep]tory vision of democratic politics; he illustrates how and why welfare benefits can be seen as a means by which the state can promote the conditions necessary for the reproduction of a democratic polity.
