  • From Welfare State to Welfare Society

    Martin Rein, Lee RainwaterCHAPTERStagnation and Renewal in Social…2024

    Previous studies find large crossnational differences in inequality amongst rich Western nations, due in large part to differences in the generosity of welfare state transfers. The United States is the least generous nation and the one having the most aftertax and transfer inequality. But these analyses are limited to the effects of cash and nearcash transfers and direct taxes on incomes, while on average, half of welfare state transfers in rich …
