Democracy and the Welfare State – The Two Wests in the Age of Austerity

Autor Alice Kessler–harris, Maurizio Vaudagna
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 dec 2017

In Democracy and the Welfare State, leading historians and social scientists rethink this history in light of global transformations of the economic order and the onslaught of neoliberalism and right-wing populism.
