Making Social Welfare Policy in America: Three Case Studies since 1950.
- Authors
Zanoni, Amy
- Abstract
Berkowitz rejects social policy historians' focus on present-day concerns - a broken health care system, racism, inequality - in their interpretations of policy history. I Making Social Policy in America i tells "stories in detail" about how three key welfare programs - Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicare, and Aid to Families with Dependent Children - came into existence and developed over time (1). Berkowitz turns to concepts developed by political scientists - invisible incremental expansion, policy feedback, and path dependency - to explain the trajectory of social policy following its passage.
