Recenzje

David Troyansky has written a wonderfully lucid, instructive, and sensitive study that illustrates changing conceptions of the life course, of old age, and of the state's social responsibilities in a time of political turmoil. Based on rich documentation, it sheds fascinating new light on the origins of the modern welfare state. This is a book that will be of great interest to anyone working on the history of modern Europe.
