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:
This book proposes a new way of thinking about social programs, premised on social investment, which stands in contrast to a previous era in which social entitlements were regnant. It serves as a sequel to The Dynamic Welfare State (OUP, 2016), which addresses the challenges of the 21st-century information age.
MoreLong description:
Social investment is a strategy that addresses neoliberal austerity by putting private capital to public purpose. An investment state serves as a sequel to the welfare state by maximizing capability, expanding employee benefits, implementing evidence-based policy, democratizing polity and commerce, and advancing social and institutional inclusion. The Investment State provides a template for future social policy, which can be adapted to cities, states, nations, and international trade agreements. It serves as a sequel to the author's previous book, The Dynamic Welfare State (OUP, 2016) -- which included a theory of welfare state decline -- by envisioning a new paradigm for social programs.
[This] is a recommended book to read for every social worker, policy professional, professor or instructor in countless arenas; as well as for every concerned and engaged citizen who longs for information and transformation. This book can and should be referenced on multiple occasions and in various forums as it speaks to the signs of the times and the status of our political, national and international condition and affairs. This is the time for change and this book provides the knowledge, tools and encouragement that can propel and pilot us toward personal achievement for the betterment of all and with collective positioning.
