From the Back Cover

As Mary Ruggie demonstrates in this illuminating study, the welfare state is not collapsing; instead, federal governments are redefining their roles in relation to social and market forces. Chronicling the evolution of health policy in the United States, Britain, and Canada, this presents evidence that central governments, rather than merely passing off responsibilities for financing and providing social benefits to the private sector, are actively overseeing a complex network of social care as they move from a system of provision to one of supervision.
