Compare The Politics of Social Risk by Isabela Mares, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

When and why have employers supported the development of institutions of social insurance that provide benefits to workers for various employment-related risks? What factors explain the variation in the social policy preferences of employers? This book provides a systematic evaluation of the role played by business in the development of the modern welfare state. Isabela Mares studies these critical questions and demonstrates that major social policies were adopted by cross-class alliances comprising labor-based organizations and key sectors of the business community. | The Politics of Social Risk by Isabela Mares, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
