About the Book

American Social Welfare Policy uses a policy analysis framework to examine national and international social welfare policy. The pluralist approach gives you the background you need to understand core social welfare concepts, grasp the social, political, and economic forces impacting social welfare policy, and analyze the major programs that make up the U.S. welfare state.

The 9th Edition features a new chapter on education and social policy. Extensive updates throughout the text explore the effects of recent domestic and international events on social welfare policy. Every chapter includes new discussions on the impact of the Trump administration on social welfare policy. New coverage explores the impacts of COVID-19, recent developments in Biden's stimulus packages and environmental policy, the rise in extremist groups, the reinstatement of transgender rights in the military, the Me Too movement, and the increased divisiveness in American society.


About the Author: About our authors

Howard Karger and David Stoesz have been friends and colleagues for almost four decades. In addition to nine editions of American Social Welfare Policy, they have coauthored three other books: The Politics of Child Abuse in America (with Lela Costin; Oxford University Press, 1996), Reconstructing the American Welfare State (Rowman and Littlefield, 1992), and A Dream Deferred (with Terry Carrillo; Transaction, 2010). Howard's book Shortchanged: Life and Debt in the Fringe Economy (Berret-Koehler, 2005) examines the financial practices and products that exploit millions of American families. The book won the 2006 Independent Publishers Award in Finance/Investment/Economics. David's book Quixote's Ghost: The Right, the Liberati, and the Future of Social Policy (Oxford University Press, 2005) explains how conservatives have assumed control of domestic policy and proposes a new framework for social policy, winning the 2006 Pro-Humanitate Literary Award. Subsequently, David published Building Better Social Programs (Oxford University Press, 2020) and Welfare State 3.0: Social Policy after the Pandemic (Routledge, 2021). Both David and Howard have been recipients of Fulbright Research Fellowships. David currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Howard lives in Kailua, Hawai'i.
