“…Edwards Deming was one of the most influential theorists behind the success of Japanese business after World War II. The author, who was Deming's pupil at the New York University Graduate School of Business, and who is now his assistant there, sets out the 14 basic principles of Deming's approach to management. …”

“…The New Social Risks (NSR) school of social policy analysis has enabled scholars and policy-makers alike to reshape their approach to take account of the main relevant changes that have affected advanced societies since the major reformulation of welfare state arrangements that took place, in most cases, after World War II. However, the authors of this paper point to certain deficiencies in it, and suggest a new approach which offers an overall framework of analysis for an extended concept of the social policy environment…”

“…Relying on a calibration, I argue that it can account for a substantial fraction of the history of European unemployment since World War II. As this explanation is compatible with the co- existence of generous unemployment insurance and low unemployment in the 1950s and 1960s, it could be seen as an alternative to the dominant story that relies on the occurrence of large shocks since the 1970s. …”
