The Divided Welfare State Is The First Comprehensive Political Analysis Of America'S Distinctive System Of Public And Private Social Benefits. Everyone Knows That The American Welfare State Is Unusualless Expensive And Extensive, Later To Develop And Slower To Grow, Than Comparable Programs Abroad. Yet, U.S. Social Policy Does Not Stand Out Solely For Its Limits. American Social Spending Is Actually As High As Spending Is In Many European Nations. What Is Truly Distinctive Is That So Many Social Welfare Duties Are Handled Not By The State, But By The Private Sector With Government Support. With Sweeping Historical Reach And A Wealth Of Statistical And Crossnational Evidence, The Divided Welfare State Demonstrates That Private Social Benefits Have Not Merely Been Shaped By Public Policy, But Have Deeply Influenced The Politics Of Public Social Programsto Produce A Social Policy Framework Whose Political And Social Effects Are Strikingly Different Than Often Assumed. At A Time Of Fierce New Debates About Social Policy, This Book Is Essential To Understanding The Roots Of America'S Distinctive Model And Its Future Possibilities. Jacob S.
