Abstract
- The American social welfare system is highly dependent on tax incentives--tax breaks. Overall, including these, the nation spends as much as many other nations do on social welfare. But is this system efficient? Is it fair? Does it protect those who need protection? The author analyzes the issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
