Pictorial Softcover. Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket as Issued. First Edition. A bright, clean, tight copy sans tears, stains, markings, and discoloration. Paperback. "Social welfare policy in the United States has gone from controversy in the 1930s, to consensus at mid-century, and back to controversy and confusion in the late twentieth century. In 'American Welfare State," Edward D. Berkowitz offers a concise and informative historical overview of this costly and often frustrating area of domestic policy. Describing the uneasy evolution of America's welfare programs, Berkowitz explains how the Social Security program became popular, why it almost went bankrupt, and why its long-term prospects for solvency remain uncertain. He traces changing public perceptions of social welfare goals, from providing secure entitlements for the elderly in the 1930s and 1940s to making payments to illegitimate children and their mothers in the 1950s and 1960s. He also explores the question of national health insurance, noting that the United States outspends Japan on health care per capita by a margin of two to one, and yet millions of Americans remain without health insurance." 216 pages.
