    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Thís edition of this successful textbook covers the different parts of the welfare system and includes detailed discussion of cash benefits, the health service, and education. The text argues that the welfare state exists not just to help the underprivileged, but also for reasons of efficiency, operating in areas where private markets would be inefficient or would not exist at all. The book is fully updated and enhanced throughout by the use of student learning aids.

    Long description:

    The fifth edition of this successful textbook discusses the different parts of the welfare system, in particular, cash benefits, health care and education. The text argues that the welfare state does not exist only to help the underprivileged, but also for reasons of efficiency, in areas where private markets would be inefficient or would not exist at all.

    Suitable for economics students and for students on related disciplines such as social policy and political economy, this book is accessible and contains a non-technical appendix to each of the theory chapters, diagrams, additional readings, worked examples and end of chapter discussions.
