Rajiv Prabhakar brings together the typically exclusive views of supporters and critics to present a nuanced, critical analysis of 'financial inclusion'. Addressing issues including the 'poverty premium', financial capability and housing, this dialogue advances crucial public, academic and policy debates and proposes alternative paths forward.
Focusing on the growing significance of asset-based policies in social policy, the book offers a theoretical framework for understanding the emerging asset agenda. It delves into specific examples, such as the British Child Trust Fund, to illustrate how these policies are implemented and their implications for social welfare. Rajiv Prabhakar's analysis provides insights into the evolution and impact of asset-based approaches on society.
