Exploring the complexities of American social policy, this collection of essays by Theda Skocpol emphasizes the importance of historical context and political alliances in shaping social programs like health care and welfare. Skocpol challenges the notion that Americans oppose social spending and analyzes the swift backlash against President Clinton's health care initiatives, despite widespread public support. The work offers insights into the challenges and opportunities within the landscape of U.S. social policymaking, both historically and in contemporary debates.
