A wonderful manifesto to changing, perhaps saving or improving, the welfare state, that sees the solution outside of the state: in our relationships with each other, in our own ability to find new purpose and connect if we want to. Cottam does a great job of explaining a lot of complicated things, in a very accessible way, and of proposing an alternative without becoming dogmatic.
P.S. It’s a great book for book clubs.
