[The Hidden Welfare State] will make students of social policy rethink many of their key assumptions about how social policies are adopted and how they expand. It is essential reading for students of American social policy.

Christopher Howard's thoroughly researched book will vastly increase our understanding of a significant and virtually unknown part of American policymaking.
