Description:
|
Fraudulent Lives analyzes the scale, meaning, and consequences of welfare fraud in a Western nation from the seventeenth century to present day. It argues that fraud is written into the fabric of the founding statues of the British welfare state ? and eliminating it has never been in the nation’s best interest.
