The Market and Social Welfare in Australia: The Creation of an “Enterprise Theology”*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 April 2015

Extract

Recently several governments have contracted with religious agencies to provide welfare services. For instance in the United States, George W. Bush has furthered the idea of “charitable choice” and the idea that churches should develop social welfare. In Australia, with the dismantling of the Commonwealth Employment Services (C.E.S.), contracts for the provision of “employment services” have been tendered out, with the result that the majority of services have been given to various religious agencies. This paper explores the significance of this development in the context of what I call enterprise theology.

Enterprise theology is a form of discourse that is addressed to certain members in the community whom it is envisaged need special help and correction. There are two components of this expression.

I do not follow his exact notion as I would argue that the state contracting with religious employment agencies calls for a new formulation of the issues involved and the extent to which such a phenomenon allows forms of governance to operate as indicated by the govemmentaliry literature.

19. The meaning of the term charity has changed from one where religious meaning was of considerable importance, to one where the notion of kindness or compassion is subject to the master virtue of prudence. In this context the most appropriate way to help a person is conceived of as through the giving of “harsh medicine” (“tough love”) necessary to encourage self-reformation. Secondly there is a shift in the meaning of charity from that found under the justice model of social solidarity and responsibility to the market model, which assumes an inequality of treatment. de Carvalho, David, Does Charity Begin at the Marketplace?, 38 Quadrant 29, 2930 (12 1994)Google Scholar. I do not expand on this point due to space. See Loseke, Donileen R., ‘The Whole Spirit of Modern Philanthropy’: The Construction of the Idea of Charity, 1912–1992, in 44 Soc.
