The Shadow Welfare State
ISBN: 9780801437458 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why, in the recent campaigns for universal health care, did organized labor maintain its support of employer-mandated insurance?

Her book combines a much-needed account of labor's important role in determining health care policy with a bold and incisive analysis of the American welfare state.
