Despite objections, social insurance-from workers' compensation laws to pension, disability, and unemployment benefits, to healthcare and parental leave policies-defines the modern welfare state and permeates daily life. Any rationale for a system of social insurance has to account for these questions: How do we assess the burden of risk over time? How do we decide who and what to cover, and at what cost? Probable Justice traces a history of social insurance, from the idea of social accountability through the advanced welfare state of collective responsibility and risk. At the heart of Rachel Z. Friedman's investigation is a study of how social insurance systems employ probability theory to flexibly distribute coverage and measure risk. Friedman reveals that the political genius of probabilistic social insurance is to allow for myriad accommodations of needs, risks, financing, and political aims, and thereby promote liberal social justice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $t The egalitarian welfare state and the ambiguities of insurance -- $t The origins of risk and the growth of insurance -- $t Probabilistic justice and the beginnings of social insurance -- $t The promise of probability -- $t The collectivization of risk and the early welfare states -- $t The egalitarian welfare state and the ambiguities of insurance -- $g Conclusion. 650 0 $a Social security $z United States. 650 0 $a Welfare state $z United States. 650 0 $a Risk $z United States. 650 0 $a Probabilities. 650 7 $a Probabilities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077737 650 7 $a Risk. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01098118 650 7 $a Social security. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123077 650 7 $a Welfare state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01173685 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 2 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214030041.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526020432.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1053220A71B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
