Extract

The contributors to this symposium have skillfully imparted theoretical content to a work that did not have much, as critics observed when Policymaking for Social Security was published. By family background and childhood experience, I have always been more journalist than social scientist, and what I did in the book was try to construct the reality of policymaking in response to a central question: how did so formidable an institution arise and develop with so little contention?
