«'How governments deliver public services is being transformed across the modern world. Jane Gingrich's excellent book [Making Markets in the Welfare State] helps us understand how this transformation is changing the lives of both the recipients of public services and those who produce those services. Examining the modern evolution of market principles, Gingrich offers a nuanced and powerful analysis of one of the most important and misunderstood public policy innovations of our time.' Sven Steinmo, European University Institute»
«'This theoretically astute and carefully crafted study of market-oriented public-sector reforms fills a huge lacuna in our understanding of the changes that West European welfare states have undergone over the last 30 years. Gingrich's terrific book also makes original and important contributions to the literature on partisan politics and to the literature on the institutional embeddedness of markets.' Jonas Pontusson, Professor of Comparative Politics, University of Geneva»
