The Development of the American Social Welfare State from Nixon to Obama

Human Progress and American History, Book 2

De: Thomas F. Winterbottom

Narrado por: William Bahl

This book is the second part of three parts on the development of the American social welfare state from 1933 to 2016. This volume is focused on the action (or inaction) toward a comprehensive social welfare state during the American presidential administrations of Richard Nixon to Barack Obama (until January 2016). This volume is concentrated mainly on American economic philosophy, in particular the common misperceptions around the term neoliberalism. We will examine these beliefs and what effect they have had on any development of the American social welfare state.

An outstanding audiobook.

I am amazed and impressed with the overflowing content in here. An outstanding audiobook!! Highly recommended!

In depth

The depth and breadth of the research very effectively prove the points Mr. Thomas is trying to convey to the listener. In some instances, the depth he goes into can bog down the overall flow of the book, but overall, I found it a very compelling story.

I like the author's deep analysis before coming to presenting his view. I've enjoyed all the chapters and his style of writing. Love it. It has good value for the money I have spent.

Democracy in decline in the USA

By the numbers, welfare reform was a success. More than 13 million people received cash assistance from the government in 1995, before the law was passed. Today, just 3 million do.
