“An outstanding contribution to analyses in the social divisions of welfare and labour, this two-nation study breaks new ground, particularly in the examination of fiscal welfare and tax expenditure. It reveals tax policies driving privatisation in personal services and increasing labour market polarisation.” Adrian Sinfield, University of Edinburgh
