Abstract

This book is a collection of essays most of which have been published elsewhere but are now conveniently assembled in one volume. The range of the themes, the methodology of analysis and the style and scrupulous scholarship exhibited in this volume give plenty of evidence to confirm Skocpol's achievement as the doyenne of social policy writers in the United States.
