The Price of Citizenship: Redefining the American Welfare State
Abstract
Michael B. Katz is one of a small group of historians whose scholarship on poverty and welfare in the United States has defined the field. The Price of Citizenship brings together some of his classic insights with his views on the latest transformations within the U.S. welfare state and its consequences for citizenship. The interior chapters contain individual studies that explain what Katz describes as a reversal of a collective commitment to social citizenship and the reification of market models in social welfare policy. The examples include the Family Support Act (1988), governor-led state welfare reforms during the 1980s, the mixed economy of public-private charity, and the debacle of health care policy during the 1990s. Yet the central message one takes away from the book rests within the beginning and end sections. Here, Katz lays out the questions and problems posed by this latest transition in the modern welfare state.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
