Editorial Reviews
Review
'... a monumental history of two centuries of social spending ...'. The Economist
'Lindert puts forward a compelling case ... his conclusions are often illuminating and controversial ... Lindert has uncovered new and tougher areas of debate as much as he has helped deal a telling blow to others.' Transfer

Book Description
Taxes and transfers have been debated for centuries, but only recently are we able to see the total picture of the evolution of social spending. This book examines the question of whether social policies that redistribute income impose constraints on economic growth. Peter Lindert argues that, contrary to the intuition of many economists and the ideology of many politicians, social spending has contributed to, rather than inhibited, economic growth.
