COVID-19 has transformed the British welfare state. The government has created millions of new beneficiaries, spent tens of billions of pounds it doesn’t have and created a mountain of public debt. And yet, when the crisis has passed, we will be left with all the old problems of welfare and well-being which we have systematically failed to address over the past 50 years. In this book, Christopher Pierson argues that we need to think quite differently about how we can ensure our collective well-being in the future. To do this, he looks backwards to the welfare state’s origins and development as well as forwards, unearthing some surprising solutions in unexpected places.

Introduction 1. Welfare in an age of austerity 2. The last social democratic welfare state 3. Back to the future, again 4. Future imperfect 5. COVID-19 and after Conclusion
• No-one else has undertaken such an empirically-grounded assessment of the dynamics of the twenty-first century welfare state and related this to the history of social democratic ideas. • Those who have looked backward (and forwards) have not seen the same things and have not drawn the same conclusions about what needs to be changed and how.
