Description

Why do people support, or not support, a welfare state? Drawing on a wealth of empirical data and using the case studies of Britain and Germany, Mau examines the policy areas of unemployment, poverty, pensions and health and argues that people are neither selfish nor altruistic; rather they tend to reason reciprocally.
