Bibliography
Gosta Esping-Andersen is Professor of Comparative Social Systems at the University of Trento, Italy
`Once again, Esping-Andersen has laid out for us an ambitious
academic and political agenda. This book will certainly be of
interest to the community of comparative welfare regime analysts,
but should be read as well by analysts of U.S. welfare reform, for
it reveals that many of the policy changes these scholars are
charting are not confined to America.'
Ann Shola Orloff, American Journal of Sociology
`provocative and informative'
Ann Shola Orloff, American Journal of Sociology
`Esping-Andersen's new work shows the significant scholarly payoff
from the sustained conversations that have come to characterize
comparative welfare regime analysis, including those between
feminists and others. His revised regime analysis highlights new
material on household economies'
Ann Shola Orloff, American Journal of Sociology
`Gösta Esping-Andersen's rich new book analyzes the roots of the
crises of today's welfare regimes'
Ann Shola Orloff, American Journal of Sociology
`clear and absorbing writing'
Norman Ginsburg, Global Social Policy 1(1)
`adds significantly to a more realistic understanding of
contemporary welfare regimes by probing deeper into their
"institutional fine grain". Social Foundations is essentially a
timely addition to the views presented in The Three Worlds, centred
around a new, persuasive, emphasis on the role of the household as
a defining element driving postindustrial economies.'
Government and Oppostion
`this book impressively integrates detailed empirical analysis of
the manifold aspects of the work-family-welfare nexus within a
coherent synthetic framework. In this, the author again displays
virtually unrivalled skill amidst current research'
Government and Opposition
`The book provides a wealth of interesting statistical information
and analysis.'
Andrew Sayer, Progress in Human Geography 24,3.
`well worth reading as a highly informative analysis of the
diversity of the social foundations of postindustrial
economies.'
Andrew Sayer, Progress in Human Geography 24,3.
