About this title

Synopsis

Mindful that the collapse of the Soviet experiment is partly blamed on a system where "they pretend to pay us and we pretend to work," the author weighs the debate over whether Western-style welfare provisions similarly undermine work incentives. She favors the side attributing unemployment to external barriers such as lack of jobs and discrimination, rather than a pathological theory (e.g. Lawrence Mead's, 1986) correlating poverty with individual behavior. Schroeder, whose present affiliation is unspecified, conducted this research at the U. of Manchester and U. of Birmingham in pursuit of a PhD. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
