Abstract
The Family Support Act of 1988 has been described as representing a new national consensus on the nature of the social contract between the state and the dependent poor. An analysis of the development of enabling legislation in New York State, however, reveals profound discord over the design of its employment and training program. While the debate is couched in terms of programmatic issues, it is actually a clash over fundamental ideological questions about the role of government and the individual. Our analysis suggests that programmatic choices in New York and elsewhere will be shaped by resource constraints and a failure to resolve this underlying philosophical conflict.
