Good comparative overview on social policy

The book performs a broad comparative analysis between the US and the EU on different policy realms, emphasizing the feasibility of implementing some of the European policies in the US and some of the American policies in Europe in order to adjust the corresponding welfare states to better support their citizens. It could provide more detail in the analysis.

Very informative, albeit fairly liberal, read. Sparked a new interest in European policy for me.

Decent book. It gives a good idea on how to apply some European ideas to the United States but very left leaning.
