Francois Ewald's landmark The Birth of Solidarity-first published
in French in 1986, revised in 1996, with the revised edition
appearing here in English for the first time-is one of the most
important historical and philosophical studies of the rise of the
welfare state. Theorizing the origins of social insurance, Ewald
shows how the growing problem of industrial accidents in France
throughout the nineteenth century tested the limits of classical
liberalism and its notions of individual responsibility. As workers
and capitalists confronted each other over the problem of workplace
accidents, they transformed the older practice of commercial
insurance into an instrument of state intervention, thereby
creating an entirely new conception of law, the state, and social
solidarity. What emerged was a new system of social insurance
guaranteed by the state. The Birth of Solidarity is a classic work
of social and political theory that will appeal to all those
interested in labor power, the making and dismantling of the
welfare state, and Foucauldian notions of governmentality,
security, risk, and the limits of liberalism.
