ETHAN KAPSTEIN documents how the new international economic order has torn huge holes in the social welfare net, putting workers and the economy itself at risk. Read a review
IN THE GREAT TRANSITION of the postcommunist countries from central planning to market economies, the role of the social safety net is becoming increasingly controversial. The transition increased the demand for social support, but the level of benefits set in the communist era is already high and threatens to stifle future economic growth. This book assesses the past, present, and future of social policies in the 27 post-communist countries. |
