商品簡介
Zimmermann (history, Central European U., Budapest) traces the history of poverty policy, social reform, and social policy in Hungary from 1948 to 1914. In many areas, she compares Hungarian developments with those in Austria, the other half of the Habsburg Monarchy. She also presents and discusses quantitative data when possible that illustrates change over time regarding provision, coverage, repressive strategies, level of benefits, and other core elements of need-related policies, to lay a foundation for systematic comparison with other countries and contexts. A number of contemporary photographs are included. Distributed in the US by Books International. Annotation Ac2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
