Reassembling Social Security: A Survey of Pensions and Health Care Reforms in Latin America

摘要

Over the last four decades, Professor Mesa-Lago has been the most consistently authoritative analyst of social security institutions in Latin America in a period characterised by acute change and transformation of social security institutions, and where the justification for, and outcomes of, the reforms have been highly contested. The book provides a comprehensive and masterly account of pension and health reforms, reflecting the attributes one has come to expect from the author's work: depth of knowledge, acute understanding, and easy accessibility. The book has a claim to be the definitive study on social security reforms in the region.
