"Adam Gearey insists that the future of welfare fundamentally depends on our ability to recgonize our shared obligations and forge a common good together. It is a crucial argument and one that offers real political hope to all of us worried about the apparent demise of our welfare state." -- Marc Stears, Professor of Political Theory, University of Oxford, UK and Visiting Fellow, Institute for Public Policy Research
