This review is from: Growing Public: Volume 1, The Story: Social Spending and Economic Growth since the Eighteenth Century (Paperback)
This is a very informative book that clears up lots of misconceptions. It explains why the "wellfare state" is still around, even after so many death notices. The analysis shows that there is no net negative cost for comprehensive and universal social programs, and that there are often significant benefits. For those who can read this book without ideological and political blinders, there is much to learn from Peter Lindert's book.
