Beveridge and social security : an international retrospective / edited by John Hills, John Ditch, and Howard Glennerster. — Oxford : Clarendon Press, 1994

251 p. ; 24 cm

Papers (except chapter 3) selected from a conference on "Social Security Fifty Years after Beveridge" held at the University of York, Sept. 1992

Sumario: This book considers the influence of Beveridge's ideas on social security, and argues that the reality, over the subsequent fifty years, has been very different from the principles and from the vision he expressed. The first part of this volume outlines the context within which the wartime report was written, the concessions that were made before implementation was possible, and the history of the postwar social insurance system. The important aspects of the social insurance system are considered in depth, such as the state pension, and the principle of flat-rather than means-tested benefits. The second part deals with the diverse responses to Beveridge's recommendations in several countries: Germany, Poland, Holland, Israel, Sweden, and Australia
