Exploring the case for compulsory insurance in the workplace

This book surveys costs, benefits, and fairness for workers, employers, and taxpayers. It weighs arguments for and against state-backed insurance systems and examines how such plans have taken shape in Europe, especially Germany, and in the United States. In clear terms, it traces the problems of living with wage systems, unemployment, and accidents at work. It explains how different models assign responsibility and fund safety nets, and what this means for everyday workers and the people who hire and govern them.

• How compulsory social insurance works in practice and who bears the costs
• Comparisons between private, public, and mixed approaches to worker protection
• The role of employers, unions, and government in funding and managing benefits
