About the Book

Can and should asset-based policies such as universal capital grants become a new pillar of the welfare state? Can they form the basis for a more egalitarian form of market economy? The citizen's stake throws open the debate by bringing together the ideas of leading thinkers in academia and policy to explore the future scope of asset-based policies in Britain. The book examines asset-based welfare in connection with a wide range of issues, from tax policy to childcare, and includes the results of two innovative studies of public opinion on capital grants and inheritance tax. It is the first time that public opinion work has been integrated with theory into a serious and cohesive consideration of practical options for the future of asset-based welfare. The citizen's stake is accessibly written and aimed at a broad audience of academics, students and policy-makers. Indeed, anyone interested in how this new policy field can and should develop will want to read this book. The discussions are relevant to academics, researchers and policy makers overseas, particularly in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Ireland and Sweden, where there is a high level of interest in this topic.

Review :
"... a diverse and interesting selection of essays which will contribute positively to the debate about a citizen's stake." Citizen's Income, Issue 1, 2007. "The growing complexities of welfare and tax systems and the inequities and injustice such complexities create have led to calls for simpler systems for dealing with just redistribution. This book critically examines the citizen's stake to provide a genuine contribution to policy debate in this important area." Keith Dowding, Department of Government, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
