| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The publication of Dismantling the Welfare State in 1994 emerged at a moment when the future of the welfare state was very much in doubt. The language of welfare cutbacks had forcefully entered public debates as both scholars and policymakers came to the realization that the postwar economic boom had passed. Throughout the 1980s, anti-welfare parties, espousing a vision of a leaner state, scored major electoral successes on both sides of the Atlantic. Simultaneously, in other sectors of the economy, policymakers began to engage in drastic deregulation and economic privatization. |
