[(Double Standard: Social Policy in Europe and the United States)] [ By (author) James W. Russell ] [June, 2014]

Russell's critical study of American versus European social policy, clearly explains the early influences, ideological implications, and modern day obstacles. His argument that the American puritan influence combined with conservative politics has prevented the progressive tendency toward social welfare, is strongly supported by a plethora of evidence. This book brings to light the numerous problems with America's social policy , and explains where and why Europe has been succesful where the US has not.
