Beschreibung
The introduction of Universal Credit arguably stands as the most far-reaching reform so far this century. Clashing Agendas is the traumatic inside story of how this simple concept became unimaginably complicated in execution, and then nearly self-destructed, told by its architect - David Freud who was the Minister for Welfare Reform.
David's initial welfare proposals in 2007, commissioned by the Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair in one of his last political initiatives, proved popular across all political parties. When the Conservatives came calling, David Freud accepted the job from David Cameron of reforming the system, initially in the shadow ministerial team and then in Government.
His core motivation was to end the welfare trap, by which the legacy systems made it difficult for many people to free themselves from dependency on the state.
This personal account reveals the complex interplay between politicians and civil servants - the true determinant of how Government really works.
It concludes with his views both on future development of the welfare system and on how the UK Government might organise itself to introduce major system reforms more successfully in future.
