Book Synopsis The Welfare State Nobody Knows by : Christopher Howard
Book excerpt: This book analyzes the politics of social programs that are well known (such as Social Security and welfare) and less well known but still important (such as workers' compensation, home mortgage interest deduction, and the Americans with Disabilities Act). Although it emphasizes developments in recent decades, the book ranges across the entire twentieth century to identify patterns of policymaking.
