Description - Welfare by Carsten Jensen

Danes love sharing, caring and communal singing, Auld Lang Syne, 99 bottles of Carlsberg, and public welfare for all. This sounds too good to be true and it is. Like every great fairy tale, the model welfare state has a dark side. Carsten Jensen, tax-funded welfare authority at Aarhus University, reveals its soft underbelly, warts and all. Danes love public welfare services, and many would pay even higher taxes to get more but only more of the services they use. And those who don't subscribe to the good life, middle-class style? The answer is blowing in the wind. AUTHOR: Carsten Jensen is Professor of Political Science at Aarhus University. His work focuses on the welfare state and democratic politics. He has published in the American Journal of Political Science, British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, and several other journals.
