Opis

In this book, apparently inexplicable shifts in the conventional wisdom and the accompanying policy paradigm are explored against the historical backdrop since the second industrial revolution. In this context, inequality, poverty, free market capitalism and the welfare state have interacted in an uneasy, dynamic dance – the "insecurity cycle".
