FIGHTING POVERTY US & EUROPE RBL:NCS P: A World of Difference (The Rodolfo De Benedetti Lecture Series) - Tapa blanda
IN THIS TIMELY STUDY OF THE DIFFERENT APPROACHES OF AMERICA AND EUROPE TO THE PROBLEMS OF DOMESTIC INEQUALITY AND POVERTY, THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE JUST HOW DIFFERENT THE TWO CONTINENTS ARE IN THE LEVEL OF STATE ENGAGEMENT IN THE REDISTRIBUTION OF INCOME. THEY DISCUSS VARIOUS POSSIBLE ECONOMIC EXPLANATIONS FOR THE DIFFERENCE, INCLUDING DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PRE-TAX INCOME, OPENNESS, AND SOCIAL MOBILITY; THEY SURVEY POLITICO-HISTORICAL DIFFERENCES SUCH AS THE VARYING PHYSICAL SIZE OF NATIONS, THEIR ELECTORAL AND LEGAL SYSTEMS, AND THE CHARACTER OF THEIR POLITICAL PARTIES, AS WELL AS THEIR EXPERIENCES OF WAR; AND THEY EXAMINE SOCIOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS WHICH INCLUDE DIFFERENT ATTITUDES TO THE POOR AND NOTIONS OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, AS WELL AS, MOST IMPORTANTLY, ATTITUDES TO RACE.

Críticas:
... remarkable book ... Mr Alesina and Mr Glaeser, both Harvard economists, are doing what the best in their profession do well these days: seeking to explain society not merely with conventional economic tools but with analysis of institutions, geography and social behaviour. (The Economist 12 March 2004)
In what ways, and why, are the United States and Europe so far apart in social policy? Alesina and Glaeser give us as definitive an answer to this fundamental question as we shall ever see. (George A. Akerlof, Nobel Prize Laureate)
This probing of the forces behind 'American exceptionalism', as measured by a much smaller welfare state than in Europe, is immensely important. The authors take a multi-discipline approach and consider many factors, including narrowly economic variables, political institutions, racial and ethnic diversity, the effects of wars, attitudes toward the poor, and still others. Their findings are sometimes surprising and frequently provocative. This monograph will quickly become the foundation of further literature on a subject of enormous significance. (Gary S. Becker, Nobel Prize Laureate)

Becker, Nobel Prize Laureate)
As events highlight deep divisions in attitudes between America and Europe, this is a very timely study of different approaches to the problems of domestic inequality and poverty.
Based on careful and systematic analysis of national data, the authors describe just how much the two continents differ in their level of State engagement in the redistribution of income. Discussing various possible economic explanations for the difference, they cover different levels of pre-tax income, openness, and social mobility; they survey politico-historical differences such as the varying physical size of nations, their electoral and legal systems, and the character of their political parties, as well as their experiences of war; and they examine sociological explanations, which include different attitudes to the poor and notions of social responsibility. Most importantly, they address attitudes to race, calculating that attitudes to race explain half the observed difference in levels of public redistribution of income.
This important and provocative analysis will captivate academic and serious lay readers in economics and welfare systems.
