Reviews for Welfare and Old Age in Europe and North America: The Development of Social Insurance

'a very useful collection of well-researched essays on a topic that has recently assumed growing importance' Social Policy & Administration 'This excellent collection shows how workers of all skill levels across Europe and North America formed sophisticated insurance operations that influence the way we insure against these same risks today. The authors provide insightful analyses from a variety of cultures. To see the impressive variety of mutual arrangements, clearly presented and carefully analyzed, there is no better place to start than this important book.' John E Murray, Rhodes College 'insightful' EH.net
