| Synopsis: |
It is widely held that the United States lagged behind the countries of Western Europe in developing modern social policies. But, as Theda Skocpol shows in this new historical analysis, the United States actually pioneered generous social spending for many of its elderly, disabled and dependent citizens. Theda Skocpol's previous works include the prize-winning "States and Social Revolutions". |
