Riassunto:

This book examines the political relationship between government social programs and private social benefits.

Recensione: ' ... the interest of the book lies not just in the elegant explanatory model that he has developed and the illuminations that flow from his use of political science concepts. It also has implications for the future of public policy not only in the United States.' Journal of Public Policy

'... this is an essential read for scholars of welfare state development'. Political Studies Review

'Even if the author is hardly referring to international comparisons, this impressive work is no doubt a must-read for all European researchers working on social policy ... Thanks to massive historical evidence, abundant statistical and bibliographical material, a rigorous theoretical framework, and an original vision of what should be the agenda of social policy research, The Divided Welfare State is sometimes surprising, often captivating, and always stimulating. In short, it would not be exaggerated to conclude that Jacob S. Hacker has written an instant classic.' Journal of European Social Policy
