The authors are scholars from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the USA and the United Kingdom in the fields of social policy and gerontology. The book includes introductory and concluding chapters by the editors, which develop new theories of care commodification and present a comparative overview of these important policy trends. |

| Publisher Description: In many developed welfare states, consumers of social services are increasingly given money rather than services so that they can buy in their own care. This book explores the implications of these trends, not just for the older consumers but also for the workers involved, through cross-national case studies. |
