Summary
  • The numerous responses to David Green's book From Welfare State to Civil Society : Towards Welfare that Works in New Zealand (published by the Business Round Table in 1996) reflected widespread unease with the way state welfare policies have been implemented over the last 50 years or so. This collection of reviews of the book has been published to help indicate and clarify areas for continuing debate that build on but go beyond the initial reflections. Dr Green's policy proposals in the main areas of welfare delivery are reviewed by a combination of friendly and hostile critics. His notion of civil society is subjected to criticism by two reviewers who, like Dr Green himself, favour limited government and voluntary welfare. Other reviewers assess Dr Green's proposals from Maori and Christian standpoints.
