"This rich and stimulating collection provides a fitting tribute to the memory of Sally Baldwin. It brings together original empirical material, theoretical perspectives and policy overviews in a wide-ranging, yet well integrated, contribution to our understanding of the relationship between cash and care. It should provide an invaluable resource for teachers, students, researchers and policy-makers." Ruth Lister, Professor of Social Policy, Loughborough University, UK
