Want, disease, ignorance, squalor, and idleness: first recognized together in mid-nineteenth-century Europe, these are the focus of the Social Question. In 1942 William Beveridge called them the "giant evils" while diagnosing the crises produced by the emergence of industrial society. More recently, during the final quarter of the twentieth century, the global spread of neoliberal policies enlarged these crises so much that the Social Question has made a comeback. The Social Question in the Twenty-First Century maps out the linked crises across regions and countries and identifies the renewed and intensified Social Question as a labor issue above all. The volume includes discussions from every corner of the globe, focusing on American exceptionalism, Chinese repression, Indian exclusion, South African colonialism, democratic transitions in Eastern Europe, and other phenomena. The effects of capitalism dominating the world, the impact of the scarcity of waged work, and the degree to which the dispossessed poor bear the brunt of the crisis are all evaluated in this carefully curated volume. Both thorough and thoughtful, the book serves as collective effort to revive and reposition the Social Question, reconstructing its meaning and its politics in the world today. 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 606 $aEquality$xEconomic aspects 606 $aLabor$xHistory 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Poverty & Homelessness$2bisacsh 610 $a20th century. 610 $aamerican exceptionalism. 610 $acapitalism. 610 $achinese repression. 610 $ademocratic transitions in eastern europe. 610 $adisease. 610 $agiant evils. 610 $aidleness. 610 $aignorance. 610 $aindian exclusion. 610 $aindustrial society. 610 $alabor issue. 610 $aneoliberal policies. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apoor people. 610 $ascarcity of waged work. 610 $asocial question. 610 $asouth african colonialism. 610 $asqualor. 610 $awant. 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEquality$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aLabor$xHistory. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Poverty & Homelessness. 676 $a306.3 702 $aBreman$b Jan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHarris$b Kevan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLee$b Ching Kwan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLinden$b Marcel van der$f1952-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996328033903316 996 $aThe Social Question in the Twenty-First Century$92065724 997 $aUNISA
