Katz argues that in the last decades three great forces-a ferocious war on dependence; the devolution of authority from the federal government to the states; and the application of market models to social policy-have affected every element of the social contract and redefined both Republican and Democratic policy and rhetoric. Katz shows how these changes are propelling America toward a future of increased inequality and decreased security, while transforming citizenship from a right of birth to a privilege reserved for the fully employed. \u003cbr\u003eA magisterial overview, incisive and bold, \"The Price of Citizenship \"is a new and indispensable classic work on American social policy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Holt Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Price of Citizenship: Redefining the American Welfare State | Michael B Katz | Paperback | 9780805069297 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks H 1769105","offer_id":50749727473922,"sku":"1769105","price":22.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/51_iD8lr9tL.jpg?v=1791965612","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/price-of-citizenship-redefining-the-american-welfare-state","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
