Inhaltsangabe:

In recent years, people's experience of welfare has undergone dramatic transformation, with the responsibility for managing risk being shifted from state institutions to non-governmental agencies and individuals. In this transformation moral and ethical questions about collective responsibility for social and economic risks abound.
