From the Back Cover
Solutions to Social Problems is the only reader on the market to look at how other countries solve their social problems in order to help the U.S. solve its own. These 35 interesting and insightful articles are organized around 13 problem areas, such as poverty and health care. Each section is introduced with a US comparison, to give the reader proper context.
The third edition features a new section on sexual orientation. Twenty-three additional new selections address topics that include: early retirement, work-life policies and programs in Europe, best practices for reducing crime, taxes on wealth, U.S. vs. Australian fisheries, and wind power.
