"A demanding but very rewarding study... It takes the trouble to explain carefully, and with extensive documentation the differences and similarities of the various countries... And it is rewarding because, unlike most of the literature on trade and trade policy, it argues that economic growth and social policy cannot be divorced... An excellent book." - International Affairs
