This edited volume provides a synthesis on the question of business
attitudes towards and its influence over the development of the
modern welfare state. It gathers leading scholars in the field to
offer both in-depth historical country case studies and comparative
chapters that discuss contemporary developments. Composed of six
archive-based historical narratives of business' role in the
development of social insurance programs in Germany, Finland, the
Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States,
and six comparative case studies, this volume also extends the
study of business to policy fields that have hitherto received
little attention in the literature, such as active labor market
policies, educational policies, employment protection legislation,
healthcare, private pension programs and work-family policies. It
illuminates why business groups have responded so very differently
to demands for increased social protection against different labor
market risks in different countries and over time. This text will
be of key interest to students and scholars of comparative welfare,
political science, sociology, social policy studies, comparative
political economy and welfare history. Chapter 4 of this book is
