Discusses whether the redistribution of welfare state programme resources from some citizens to others can be justified by a theory of moral rights. The book maintains that it is possible to defend programmes on the grounds that they are required to fulfil the moral rights of individual citizens.
In this book Lesley Jacobs challenges the view, now prevalent in North America and Western Europe, that the primary function of a nation''s social policy should be to provide support only for the poorest people instead of social services accessible to all its citizens.In an interesting and distinctive argument he develops and defends the idea that access to basic rights such as education, health care, adequate housing, and income support can provide a solid moral foundation for redistributive state welfare programmes, maintaining that any nation which purports to take rights to basic liberties seriously must also be fully committed to the principles of the welfare state. Dr Jacob''s thesis addresses a pressing political and philosophical problem at the heart of the policies and structure of the modern state.
