Introduction and summary : Better policies and improved neighborhoods can secure the fifth freedom - an opportunity-rich childhood for all -- Evolution of the welfare state : 150 years of efforts to assist low-income communities and individuals -- Guardrails and airbags : better strategies to improve neighborhoods and support families are the basis for a smarter social safety net -- Financing guardrails and airbags : creating a market that values health -- Hawaii case study : how an island state can point the way -- Conclusion and next steps.
"The status quo doesn't work for millions of Americans, and the consequences of millions of failures are expensive for everyone else. There has to be a better, fairer, and more cost-effective way of helping people achieve success. This book advocates a smarter social safety net that will catch kids heading in the wrong direction before they are harmed, and society will pay for those upstream investments and reap the benefits of healthier and more productive generations to come"--
