Abstract
This chapter examines the issues of social expenditure, redistribution and participation. Specifically it addresses three themes: social expenditure; the evidence of the effect of social expenditure on income redistribution; and a critical approach to these through an alternative emphasis on the most recent concept of "social quality".
