It gathers leading scholars in the field to offer both in-depth historical country case studies and comparative chapters that discuss contemporary developments.    Composed of six archive-based historical narratives of business' role in the development of social insurance programs in Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, and six comparative case studies, this volume also extends the study of business to policy fields that have hitherto received little attention in the literature, such as active labor market policies, educational policies, employment protection legislation, healthcare, private pension programs and work‐family policies. It illuminates why business groups have responded so very differently to demands for increased social protection against different labor market risks in different countries and over time.    This text will be of key interest to students and scholars of comparative welfare, political science, sociology, social policy studies, comparative political economy and welfare history.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish  abusiness attitudes  adevelopment  ahistory  amodern welfare state  athema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences  athema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences::JP Politics and government1 aLeimgruber, Matthieu4edt1 aLeimgruber, Matthieu4oth1 aOude Nijhuis, Dennie4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/3225070zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92999d92999
