This chapter argues for a broadening of social policy focus, beyond
the mixed economy approach (which incorporates social, private,
informal/familial, voluntary, fiscal and occupational welfare) towards
a whole-economy approach that ‘brings in’ corporate welfare and
a broader focus on taxation, public policies that overlap with social
policy objectives, power and the economy. However, the challenge, as
the chapter makes clear, is not simply to bring such perspectives in, but to
keep them in view and to continually examine how they interact with
and shape social policy objectives and outcomes.
