Description

When it was originally published in 1986, this was the first book to deal simultaneously with several aspects of social welfare provision in a developing country.

The unique contribution of the book is based on the analysis of 3 substantive welfare areas - land (for self-help housing), urban infrastructure and health - which are examined in terms of the nature, motivation and effectiveness of government intervention.

The book covers 3 administrations between 1970 and the mid-1980s and sets the analysis in the wider context of Latin American affairs.

The author shows that although social welfare expenditure has increased, its importance as a government priority has been sharply eroded.
