nice book with nice price and contents!
It is a wonderful book with clear outline and structure, espeically in a reader-friendly language style. Plus, though with 400 pages, the book weighs little! So nice!

Good history read
This book was required for a course, but it's definitely the type of book I would've been interested to read at leisure. Very interesting, general coverage of the history of social welfare in the US. Not a very technical book and not overly detailed, so it's a very easy, quick read!

This is an excellent, easy to read and extremely informative book! I think it is a great preview regarding the beginnings of becoming a welfare state.
