Originally published in 1984, Contradictions of the Welfare State is the first collection of Claus Offe's essays to appear in a single volume in English. The political writings in this volume are primarily concerned with the origins of the present difficulties of welfare capitalist states, and he indicates why in the present period, these states are no longer capable of fully managing the socio-political problems and conflicts generated by late capitalist societies. Offe discusses the viability of New Right, corporatist and democratic socialist proposals for restructuring the welfare state. He also offers fresh and penetrating insights into a range of other subjects, including social movements, political parties, law, social policy, and labour markets.

I would have just skimmed the entire book if it had been marxist through and through, but fortunately the author wrote essays 6-10 from a more neutral perspective. I liked essay number 7 in particular, where the author argues that democratic institutions are losing their ability to articulate and resolve political conflicts and that politics as we know it is shifting away from these institutions. The author proves to be an adept thinker once he releases himself from his marxist shackles. His diagnosis turned out to be overly pessimistic as far as European democracies are concerned, but he still makes a number of good general observations. At the end of the book there's a long transcript of an interview with the author which gives a fairly interesting view of the roots of 1970s German marxism.
