The Industrial Revolution offered promises of material abundance. In nineteenth century Britain, a series of major cooperative thinkers seized on these possibilities. In effect, they turned the mainstream economics of scarcity on its head and together shaped a humane social science. This book moves toward a reconstruction of nineteenth century British cooperative thought. The analysis is rich in insights still relevant to the present--insights concerning employment relations, persistent inequality, and low levels of human development.

The publication takes account of the fundamental developments transforming social work in Europe at the beginning of the 21st century. A European standard of social work has already emerged, but models for future European social work are absent. Therefore the compendium gives an overview of the current transformation process for the first time, discusses the visible and invisible changes and maps out where social work is positioned in the emerging post-welfare states.
