This insightful book provides a systematic analysis of the development of affluent Western welfare states in this turbulent era. It explores the consequences for welfare states of modern crises such as climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine. Most importantly, it investigates how to prioritize scarce resources in the face of many competing demands and argues that there is an urgent need to improve crisis funding whilst at the same time maintaining provision for vulnerable groups. This title contains one or more Open Access chapters.
Healthcare has an impact on everyone, and healthcare funding decisions shape how and what healthcare is provided. In this book, Stephen Duckett outlines a Christian, biblically grounded, ethical basis for how decisions about healthcare funding and priority-setting ought to be made. Taking a cue from the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), Duckett articulates three ethical principles drawn from the story: compassion as a motivator; inclusivity, or social justice as to benefits; and responsible stewardship of the resources required to achieve the goals of treatment and prevention. These are principles, he argues, that should underpin a Christian ethic of healthcare funding. Duckett's book is a must for healthcare professionals and theologians struggling with moral questions about rationing in healthcare. It is also relevant to economists interested in the strengths and weaknesses of the application of their discipline to health policy.
Een meeslepende, veelbekroonde biografie over criminoloog en schrijver Andreas Burnier, die het denken over euthanasie, feminisme en gender op grootse wijze heeft verrijkt. ‘Andreas Burnier, metselaar van de wereld’ van Elisabeth Lockhorn is de biografie van Andreas Burnier (1931-2002), die een leven lang ontheemd was. Als Joods kind werd zij in de oorlog in zestien verschillende onderduikgezinnen geplaatst, als ‘transgender avant la lettre’ worstelde zij met haar identiteit, hetgeen zijn weerslag vond in indringende romans als ‘Het jongensuur’, ‘Een tevreden lach’ en ‘De litteraire salon’. Wat Reve betekende voor de mannelijke homoseksueel, betekende zij voor de vrouwelijke. Als wetenschapper waagde ze het te vloeken in de Kerk van de Rede. In een tijd dat de ziel werd afgeschaft had zij de euvele moed het over de ziel te hebben.
