The Divided Welfare State: The Battle over Public and Private Social Benefits in the United States
Hacker, Jacob S. (Yale University, Connecticut)
This book examines the political relationship between government social programs and private social benefits. The extensive development of private benefits helps explain why American public programs are more limited than those abroad, because private benefits have fostered constituencies and institutions as powerful as those created by government programs.
