Summary
The welfare state has, over the past 40 years, come under increasing attack from liberals who consider comprehensive welfare provision inimical to liberalism. Yet many of the architects of the post-World War II welfare states were liberals. Taking as examples three cases not often considered together-Britain, Germany, and Japan-this volume investigates the thinking of liberal economists about welfare.
