The Reformation of Welfare
Western culture has 'faith' in the labour market as a test of the worth of each individual. Continuously reformed by the left and right in politics, the contemporary welfare state attempts to transform the unemployed into active jobseekers, punishing non-compliance. For those who are out of work, welfare is now less of a support than a means of purification and redemption.
This book will be essential reading for those interested in the sociology and anthropology of modern Drawing on ideas from economic theology, this provocative book uncovers deep-rooted religious concepts and shows how they continue to influence contemporary views of work and unemployment: Jobcentres resemble purgatory where the unemployed attempt to redeem themselves, jobseeking is a form of pilgrimage in hope of salvation, and the economy appears as providence, whereby trials and tribulations test each individual.
