- Summary:
- Kaufmann (emeritus, social policy and sociology, U. of Bielefeld, Germany) provides a review of the intellectual foundations that were the framework of initiatives that led to the European welfare state, in addition to basic concepts to aid readers in understanding it. He also underscores the differences between the structural and philosophical environments in continental Europe and the English speaking world. The chapters, translated from their original German, were first published separately. The book is divided into four parts: intellectual foundations, theory of social policy, theory of and for the welfare state, and the future of the welfare state.
