This book is a groundbreaking exploration of the changes needed to bring U.S. social policy into alignment with the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, a shift away from the policy infrastructure of industrial America. It recognizes the existing social infrastructure and explores viable options for reform, proposing four strategies: consolidating programs, harmonizing applications, expanding equity, and conducting experiments. The book advocates for discreet, poignant proposals of social programs, emphasizing the importance of honoring past accomplishments, acknowledging the influence of established stakeholders, and addressing program inadequacies.

It plots specific opportunities for policy improvement while adopting a realpolitik appreciation for social policy. Written by one of the most respected academics in the field of U.S. social policy, this book is a must-read for undergraduate and postgraduate students of social policy, social work, sociology, and U.S. politics. It offers valuable insights and perspectives that will shape the future of social policy in the United States.
