Europe has always been the living proof that equity and efficiency are perfectly compatible. As we move through the Covid-19 crisis and embark on decarbonization, we see that welfare states that focus on social investment are in an even better position to facilitate the transition. In this excellent book, Anton Hemerijck and Robin Huguenot-Noel guide us through the arguments and make a compelling case for inclusive and resilient social policies in Europe. -- Anke Hassel, Professor of Public Policy, Hertie School, Berlin In this highly stimulating and entirely readable book, Anton Hemerijck and Robin Huguenot-Noel raise the stakes for social Europe, by making the bold claim that welfare states are inherent to any prosperous economy in the twenty-first century. A claim that, in the wake of the Covid pandemic, is impossible to refute. -- Frank Vandenbroucke, Minister of Social Affairs and Public Health in the Belgian Government European welfare states are changing again - and not for the worse. To understand how, why, and with what consequences, this insightful new book by two of the continent's leading social policy analysts provides an indispensable guide. -- Jonathan Zeitlin, Professor of Public Policy and Governance, University of Amsterdam
