- Summary:
- It has almost become a truism that it is due to the forces of globalization that the welfare state has been restructured at the national level. Furthermore, this restructuring has rendered Keynes' original vision of the Keynesian welfare state almost unrecognizable. This book explores the varying fortunes in the privatization of welfare and the dismantling of welfare states across the world, based on critical understandings of neoliberal globalization.
