I am in Social Work school and we are using this book for a policy class. I have actually been reading it, which I cannot say for all of my assigned readings. (shhh, don't tell)I am particulary enjoying the mix of history and current policy. My husband is even interested in reading it when I am done. I recommend this book if you are also (like me) having trouble with different ideologies in your family. It is amazing how much more you will understand about why people think the way they do and the logic you will garner once you understand the history.

This book has a lot of information in it and covers a very wide spectrum of different policies. I do wish they were a little more thorough with current policy since there is already a lot of information on major historical policy and programs. Overall it was very informative and a decent book for my class but there are probably more reader friendly books out there that could also get the job done.

I understand that social policy may not be an easy subject to write about, but this is nuts. This book is full of complicated, convoluted, overly wordy explanations - even the easy ones.Sorry if you have to get this for a class, but expect to spend a lot of time saying "HUH?!" and then realizing you have learned just a tad bit of info from a whole lotta words.

This book was a well written, in-depth, overview of social welfare policy. It was easy to understand and I enjoyed the history it included in regards to social welfare policy.

comprehensive text provides a good basis for learning about policy as it relates to social welfare, sociology and social work

Completely written with a political bias attempting to state opinion as fact. Frustrating to read for classes.

This book is great at explaining certain issues, but other issues like economics in early America is just really confusing, I mean I am a Masters level student and its hard for me to understand. I can't imagine what its like for those actually studying some form of economics! Nonetheless, I am studying social work and not economics, but it sure would be helpful to get a quick rundown of these topics without all of the technical jargon used by the authors. Perhaps they should remember who their audience is? Just a suggestion.
