American Policy Making: Welfare as Ritual
William M. Epstein
Epstein contends that the social sciences script fables of cure, prevention and rehabilitation that falsely testify to the feasibility of inexpensive and culturally compatible solutions to deep social problems. This is an unsentimental analysis of American social policy making.
