Part III: Tackling poverty: Chapter 7: Towards a 'civil-ised' society.

This chapter argues that the goal of full-employment is redundant and that a new goal needs to be put in its place. If the advanced economies manage to achieve full-employment, then the fact that this goal has been pursued will not be a problem. It will have played a positive role in facilitating greater community spirit and participation in civil society. If full-employment is not achieved, however, then this approach will have created alternative means of meeting needs and desires. To pursue the development of such additional poverty alleviation policies without changing the allocation of work in the formal sphere will act merely to create a dual society.
