Opis

This title was first published in 2000:  Over the past decade the welfare state has come under sustained attack not only from quarters which never approved of its policies, but also from political theorists who used to support it.

Recenzje

’Doris Schröeder's book will be welcomed by all who are interested, whether theoretically, administratively or managerially, in the history, politics and economics of the western welfare state. Expertly drawing upon a wide range of disciplines, the author offers substantial and much needed critique of the fashionable ’pathological’ theory of unemployment.’ Chris Cherry, Reader in Moral Philosophy, University of Kent, UK
