This three-volume compendium reproduces all the key texts on the
welfare state - its rise and fall, its varying rationales and
instrumentalities, its different forms in different periods and
different places. Political history and social theory are
interspersed with sociology and economics, and neo-liberal analyses
sit alongside socialist and feminist ones, making for an
invigorating blend of opposing perspectives. Anglo-American
experiences are contrasted not just with those of Germany and
Scandinavia but also with Japan and Taiwan, Italy and Hungary,
Australia and South Asia, thus highlighting the many distinct
styles of welfare states and the distinctive social, economic,
political and cultural forces driving them. The juxtaposition of
all the standard texts alongside many others which are deeply
revealing but virtually unknown makes this an indispensable
reference source for all serious students of the welfare state.
