Cambridge University Press Making Social Spending Work
Book SynopsisHow does social spending relate to economic growth and which countries have got this right and wrong? Peter H. Lindert provides a compelling global guide to public education, health care, pensions, and welfare provision, and links them to inequality and fiscal redistribution.Trade Review'It's hard to think of anyone who has had such a profound effect on the way we think about political economy. This remarkable book gives us all more to chew over. Peter Lindert continues to set the agenda.' James A. Robinson, co-author of Why Nations Fail'Surprise! There are free lunches. But they may be running out soon. Learn why they exist and threats on the horizon to the many benefits of generous social spending from Peter Lindert's informative and readable book.' Claudia Goldin, co-author of The Race between Education and Technology'Why do we have government-financed social spending? Why did it emerge rather late in human history? What has it accomplished? These are some of the fundamental questions that Peter Lindert asks in his monumental Making Social Spending Work. Lindert's study of education, health care, old-age spending around the world could not have been more timely: these issues are again at the forefront of the political agenda.' Branko Milanovic, author of Capitalism, Alone'A must read for anyone interested in promoting just and sustainable growth. With pristine clarity, Lindert explains why social spending has risen everywhere. Using history and solid empirical evidence he debunks myths about negative effects and proposes new policies to facilitate inclusive growth and design a new social contract.'
