The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism
Book by Gøsta Esping-Andersen
The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism is a book on political theory written by Danish sociologist Gøsta Esping-Andersen, published in 1990.
The work is Esping-Andersen's most influential and highly cited work, outlining three main types of welfare states, in which modern developed capitalist nations cluster.[1][2][3] The work occupies seminal status in the comparative analysis of the welfare states of Western Europe and other advanced capitalist economies.[4]
It has been described as the most influential welfare state research of the contemporary period.[5][6] The work called into question well-established ways of thinking about differences among welfare states in advanced capitalist democracies.[7] At the time of writing this book, Gøsta Esping-Andersen was Professor at the European University Institute, Florence.
