Summary

This book explores an important, emergent issue: what types of reforms are required to enable welfare states to preserve sustainability? For the purpose of this study, a sustainable welfare state is one that can remain the guarantor against social risks and adverse economic trends for all segments of their respective societies and satisfy sound fiscal criteria (such as the Maastricht requirement for all members of the EMU that their fiscal budget deficit does not exceed 3% of the GDP), without imposing considerable financial burdens on future generations.

Author Biography

James Angresano is Professor of Political Economy at Albertson College of Idaho. He is the author of Comparative Economics (Prentice Hall, 1995) and The Political Economy of Gunnar Myrdal (Edward Elgar, 1997).
