'This is an important book in three ways. It is synoptic in
providing and interrelated explanation of the post-war rise of
welfare capitalism, the pressures of globalization and subsequent
welfare state reforem. It is synthetic in its sensitive
interweaving of a wide range of literature. And it is illuminating
in its depth analysis especially of the US and German cases.'
David Soskice, Duke University, North Carolina
'By locating the dilemmas of contemporary social in a broader context at once historical, comparatrive and cultural, this wide-ranging volume sets out the challenges facing policy-makers and scholars. The authors show that globalization is an opportunity and a threat. All interessted in the fate of welfare states and of open world markets will want to have this book on their shelves.' Peter A. Hall, Harvard University
