Trade Review
"Madrid demonstrates a deep knowledge of the literature; uses a sophisticated methodology; treats the subject in a comprehensive, comparative, systematic, and analytical manner; and arrives at reasonable conclusions based on solid evidence....[an] excellent book..." -- Governance
"It is hard not to walk away impressed with the breadth of scholarship in Retiring the State" -- Comparative Politics
"[Madrid] demonstrates a mastery of the relevant empirical material, and he makes a convincing case that the causes of pension reform in Latin America are different from the causes of welfare reform more generally." -- American Journal of Sociology
