The Philosophy of Welfare: Selected writings of Richard M. Titmuss

The Philosophy of Welfare: Selected Writings of Richard M. Titmuss is a 1987 collection of essays by the influential British social policy pioneer, Titmuss, covering topics from the social division of welfare to taxation, and the National Health Service.

The book argues for a universalist social welfare model grounded in egalitarian and redistributive principles, emphasizing moral values over pure market economics. It was published to make his work accessible to a new generation of students and academics interested in welfare and social policy.
