Welfare Capitalism Around the World

Abstract

This book offers a wide selection of country studies on different types of welfare capitalism from an real-typical point of view. It has been one of the few books ever to cover a great deal of welfare state system from around the world, depicting monumentally different ways in conceiving and developing different models of welfare capitalism, be it Singapore or Hong Kong, New Zealand or Canada, the US or the UK, Switzerland, Germany, France, Denmark or Sweden, Italy or Israel, Korea or Japan, or even countries in Latin America. The authors contributing to this book count to the who is who in welfare state comparison worldwide. Hence, this book is a vital source book, a must read and a must have for every social policy expert, public policy expert, and economist alike.
