Double Standard: Social Policy in Europe and the United States. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, October 2006. French translated edition forthcoming by éditions du Sextant, Paris in 2008. Honorable mention, Humanist Sociology Best Book Award 2007. This is a wonderful book, erudite and sophisticated, yet lucid and to the point. Russell offers us a sweeping portrait of the development of social policy in Europe and America, and helps us to understand not only the differences between the European and American welfare states, but why those differences are so important. -Frances Fox Piven, President-elect, American Sociological Association and author of Regulating the Poor
Russell's tools are clear writing, tight argumentation, and impeccable logic. He uses them to calmly and surgically dismantle the myth of American superiority as he explains how and why Americans receive far fewer social welfare benefits than their European counterparts. A real eye-opener. -Levon Chorbajian, University of Massachusetts |
