In Double Standard, James W. Russell shows how and why different
models of social and welfare policy developed in the United States
and Europe. The fourth edition has been revised and updated
throughout to reflect recent political developments that are having
significant policy consequences, including the Brexit vote in the
UK and the election of Donald Trump in the U.S. The fourth edition
also features additional material on Karl Polanyi, European party
politics, disability policy, and more. Part One, "The Development
of Social Policy," discusses the factors that contributed to the
different shapes of social policy in the U.S. and Europe. Part Two,
"Key Social Policies," considers how different counties have
handled commons social problems including poverty, unemployment,
child and family support, retirement and disability, health care,
race and immigration, and incarceration. These different social
policy orientations have produced disparate social ways of
life-ways of life that are now in contention for the future of
Western societies. A complimentary test bank including
discussion/essay questions and multiple choice questions is
available. Please email
