Inhaltsangabe

This book, first published in 2005, is based on the key idea that social protection, both inside and outside the state, can be understood as protection of specific investments in human capital. It offers a systematic explanation of popular preferences for redistributive spending, the economic role of political parties and electoral systems, and labor market stratification.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'... a truly excellent book ... provides a wealth of understanding ... provides a useful degree of coherence and reality that enriches the theorizing.' SEER

'... a comprehensive perspective on the historical origins of the different welfare production regimes that came to define the post-war political economies of Europe, North America and Japan ... sheds considerable light on the rapid and almost uninterrupted expansion of the welfare state since the 1950s ... Students of development economics and others interested in the historical trajectory of the OECD economies will find this book rewarding.' Development Policy Review
