First published in 1975, Social Service Budgets and Social Policy is a comprehensive examination of the attempts by British and US federal governments to plan and control social service expenditure. Spanning a wide range of topics, including education, health, and social security spending, the book delves into the contrasting theories of resource allocation and their practical implications. It begins by discussing the broad economic, political, and policy contexts within which social planners in the two countries operate, highlighting the unique challenges and opportunities they face.
In the subsequent chapters, the book scrutinizes the efforts of social planners in the two countries to engage in forward planning, output budgeting, and program evaluation. It argues for more explicit and informed decisions about priorities, recognizing the importance of an open political process in shaping social policy. The book is of interest to students of economics, sociology, and social policy, providing valuable insights into the complex dynamics of resource allocation and social policy development.
Overall, Social Service Budgets and Social Policy is a seminal work that offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and strategies involved in planning and controlling social service expenditure in the United Kingdom and the United States. Its insights and recommendations will continue to be relevant to policymakers and scholars alike.
