Series: Anthem European Studies

This book explores an important, emergent issue: what types of reforms are required to enable welfare states to preserve sustainability? For the purpose of this study, a sustainable welfare state is one that can remain the guarantor against social risks and adverse economic trends for all segments of their respective societies and satisfy sound fiscal criteria (such as the Maastricht requirement for all members of the EMU that their fiscal budget deficit does not exceed 3% of the GDP), without imposing considerable financial burdens on future generations.

Reviews for French Welfare State Reform: Idealism versus Swedish, New Zealand and Dutch Pragmatism

'Deeply rooted in a sound political economy analysis, this book is a must both for those who are still faithful to some sort of welfare state and for pro-market hardliners.'Wladimir Andreff, Professor at the University of Paris, Centre d'Economie de la Sorbonne (CNRS), Vice-president of the French Economic Association
