为什么在战后最初的几十年里，欧洲经济体能够同时致力于充分就业和福利国家的扩张？为什么这种良性关系在最近几十年里破裂了？这本书通过强调工会和政府之间政治交流的关键重要性，为这个问题提供了答案，这种交流的前提是工资适度，以换取社会服务和转移支付的扩大。这些行动者在这些政治交流中所采取的战略受到现有工资谈判机构、货币政策的性质以及社会政策转移的水平和构成的影响。该书表明，财政负担的逐渐增加削弱了这种政治交换的有效性，降低了工会工资政策影响就业结果的能力。
Why were European economies able to pursue the simultaneous commitment to full employment and welfare state expansion during the first decades of the postwar period and why did this virtuous relationship break down during recent decades? This book provides an answer to this question, by highlighting the critical importance of a political exchange between unions and governments, premised on wage moderation in exchange for the expansion of social services and transfers. The strategies pursued by these actors in these political exchanges are influenced by existing wage bargaining institutions, the character of monetary policy and by the level and composition of social policy transfers. The book demonstrates that the gradual growth in the fiscal burden has undermined the effectiveness of this political exchange, lowering the ability of unions' wage policies to affect employment outcomes.
