Review Quotes
Gøsta Esping-Andersen, Universitat Pompeu Fabra
“The first book that gives us a balanced and sophisticated analysis of what social investment policies entail and how they have been implemented across the advanced world. It will become the authoritative reference on welfare state reform for years to come.”
Peter Wells | International Journal of Social Welfare
“Towards a Social Investment Welfare State? provides an excellent overview of the state and possible future development of social investment policies in Europe, notably in terms of thinking around policies that offer a more positive accommodation between markets and society.”
