About this book
Reviews
"Andrew Dunn has written the deepest inquiry I know of into unemployment in Britain. He makes clear that a life on benefits isn't just forced on people by conditions; it also reflects claimants' attitudes and choices, which vary widely. Many still view work as a choice that they need not make. Welfare reform was supposed to deny that choice, to stop paying aid without work. Clearly it has so far failed to deliver." - Larry Mead, New York University, USA
"Andrew Dunn has produced a powerful and compelling critique of the understanding of unemployment that underpins much academic writing on British social policy. It is a book which should be read widely and debated seriously." - Alan Deacon, University of Leeds, UK
