Description
How social spending relates to economic growth is a question that Peter Lindert sets out to answer in this book. By examining countries across the globe, he reveals what has worked and what hasn't, and identifies areas for improvement.
Lindert explores the development of public education, healthcare, pensions, and welfare provision, as well as key issues such as intergenerational inequality, fiscal redistribution, and the impact of migration. He argues that investing in young people from a young age is crucial, and that social spending should be shifted away from workplaces and towards society as a whole.
This analysis sheds light on the differences between autocracies and democracies, and provides valuable insights for policymakers and anyone interested in understanding the complex relationships between social spending and economic growth.
