Summary:

With the contemporary transfer of private sector rationality into state services, the distinction between the private and the public sectors has been increasingly difficult to sustain. " The Social Work Business" gives a comprehensive picture of social work in its new guise as a quasi-public enterprise: its origins, its characteristics, its ramifications for the education of social workers and its impact on managers, practitioners, service users, carers and voluntary organizations.
