'the book provides an interesting account of the relationship between public and private financing, provision and regulation of welfare. Its comparative nature gives the reader a quick but broad insight into different forms of welfare mixes and policy enactments. Especially, its European focus and contrast with Japan and other countries distinguishes it from other books in this area.' - European Societies
