Focusing on Australia's evolution of its welfare regime from the late 19th to mid-20th century, the narrative explores the historical context and decisions that shaped its development. It highlights the transition from a social laboratory in the early 1900s to a "welfare laggard" by the 1940s, emphasizing how earlier choices influenced the welfare state's formation and current possibilities. The book examines the pre-history of the system, providing insights into the constraints and legacies that continue to affect welfare policies today.
