It will become the authoritative reference on welfare state reform for years to come... a must-read for any serious social policy course." Gosta Esping-Andersen, Professor of Sociology, Universitat Pompeu Fabra "An original contribution that sheds light on the recent and current reform dynamics of welfare states. This book will enrich the public and academic debate substantially by inviting us all to reflect on how to tackle the present economic crisis and the way ahead, while also opening salient avenues to guide future research."
