About the book
"Greg Eghigian argues that the emergence of social insurance represents a paradigmatic shift in modern understandings of health, work, political participation, and government. By institutionalizing compensation, social insurance transformed it into a right that the employed population quickly came to assume. Social insurance was thus pivotal in establishing a general attitude of demand, claim, and entitlement as the primary link between the modern state and those it governed.". "Of particular interest to readers of modern German political and social history, Making Security Social will also appeal to historians of the European and American welfare states, researchers in public policy, disability studies, and public health, and, finally, scholars working in the history of the human sciences."--BOOK JACKET.
