Governing Charities challenges received accounts of the welfare state by highlighting the complex web of relationships that characterize the delivery of social services. In tracing the connections between the Catholic Church in Toronto and provincial and municipal governments, Paula Maurutto takes issue with the view that the welfare state marks a modern, secular, and scientific progression from a pre-1920 "Golden Age" when churches dominated the voluntary sector.
