Big Data And The Welfare State: How The Information Revolution Threatens Social Solidarity

This book explores, theoretically and empirically, the consequences of 'Big Data' for the politics of social protection. It argues that the information revolution enables the formation of evermore fine-grained insurance pools, which in turn threatens the solidarity of the welfare state. The book also considers policies to limit marketization.
