This paper argues that the two thematic constructions in the Fowler and Griffiths reports have combined to create financial diswelfares for elder customers of community care. It is argued that decentralised systems of charging have to date created territorial inequalities es pecially for elders in receipt of means-tested benefits. The paper reviews the incidence of reliance on, and evidence of, underclaim in welfare benefit entitlements in relation to community care. In order to reduce regional inequities, the case for an equitable charging policy is presented, reflecting a central principle, hitherto ignored, in the Griffiths Report. The rationale for such a policy, it is argued, con forms to the second principle of a Rawlsian theory of justice.

Seen as the end of an exclusively repressive approach, the Consolidation of Labour Laws (CLT) was long hailed as one of the world's most advanced bodies of social legislation. John D. French examines the juridical origins of the CLT and the role it played in the cultural and political formation of the Brazilian working class.

AbstractIf David Bell in his book Men on Horseback (2020) focuses on what is political charisma, how it functions, and what it means 'to write its history', this article examines how Brazil's ex-President Luís Inácio Lula da Silva ('Lula') acquired charisma during the dramatic 1978–80 metalworkers' strikes in the industrial ABC region of São Paulo, Brazil. While generating a vast literature, scholars of the ABC strikes have evaded the question of how Lula, the gifted organiser, emerged as a recognisably charismatic figure. This article explains where, when and why this happened and how a charismatic bond was forged as 100,000 stigmatised, fearful, self-doubting 'peons' came to constitute themselves as a locally articulated social actor, a group in fusion, whose boldness and creativity led to extraordinary feats of organisation and mobilisation. Arguing against conflating charisma and populism, it also establishes the utility of the theorisation of group-making advanced in the Critique of Dialectical Reason (1960) by Jean-Paul Sartre.

AbstractLula and His Politics of Cunning explores the origin, roots, and evolution of Luis Inácio Lula da Silva's vision, discourse, and practice of leadership as a process of becoming. This commentary invites historians of labor movements and the left to think beyond their geographical and chronological specializations. It argues that there is much to gain from thinking globally if we wish to achieve meaningful causal insights applicable to the sweep of capitalist development.
