Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
First published in 1991, Social Security and Social Control (now with a new preface by the author) takes a fresh look at social security policy and demonstrates how the disciplinary effects of social security and relief programmes are more extensive, pervasive, and subtle than is commonly supposed. Based on his academic research, drawing particularly upon the post-structuralist ideas of Foucault, and aided by twelve years’ practical experience as a front-line advice worker at a centre in Brixton, South London, Hartley Dean re-interprets the historical development of the British Poor Laws and the modern social security system. Thus, he provides a new context within which to analyse social security reforms and the significance of poverty as a contemporary phenomenon in advanced western societies. Also included is a unique case study of the Social Security Appeal Tribunal and the development of the tribunal system is presented as a commentary upon the disciplinary mechanisms inherent within the social security system as a whole. The book concludes with a reappraisal of debates of the time about social security policy and alternative social security systems.
Invaluable reading for undergraduates and lecturers in social policy, welfare law, sociology, socio-legal studies, politics, and social history, Social Security and Social Control will also be of particular interest to anyone involved in welfare rights, advice work, or legal services.
Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
