What now appears to be a seminal publication on the road to welfare reform. Ralph Howell examines the welfare system of the mid 1980s, what the Beveridge Report didn't utilise and how the two could be combined to create an incentivized work force and a simplified benefits system. This publication foreshadows many of the summer 2008 announcements.Report topics

Words of wisdom
"The natural effort of every individual to better his own condition... is so powerful, that it alone, and without any assistance, is not only capable of carrying on the wealth of society to wealth and prosperity, but of surmounting a hundred impertinent obstructions with which the folly of human laws too often encumbers its operation."
The Wealth of Nations, Book IV, Ch V
"It is in the interests of every man to live as much at his ease as he can; and if his emoluments are to be precisely the same, whether he does, or does not perform some very laborious duty, it is certainly his interest... to neglect it altogether"
The Wealth of Nations, Book V, Ch I, Part III
