I absolutely loved this book. It explains everything in such a clear and interesting way. There are lot of citations to support the information. I took Dr. Warde’s Social Policy and Welfare Class in NYU. He’s extremely insightful, erudite and articulate in his teachings of this topic. The information he presents is also translates to this book. Thank you Dr. Warde.
