| 520 | |a "The American Myth of Markets in Social Policy examines how implementing American tropes in policy design inadvertently frustrates policy goals.

Hevenstone shows that these solutions often not only fail to achieve social goals, but actively undermine them. The book carefully details the mechanisms through which this occurs, and examines several policies in depth, covering universal social insurance programs like healthcare and pensions, as well as smaller interventions like programs for the homeless.
