Welfare states vary across nations and change over time. And the balance between markets and government; free enterprise and social protection is perennially in question. But all developed societies have welfare states of one kind or another - they are a fundamental dimension of modern government. And even after decades of free-market criticism and reform, their core institutions have proven resilient and popular.

This Very Short Introduction describes the modern welfare state, explaining its historical and contemporary significance and arguing that far from being 'a failure' or 'a problem', welfare states are an essential element of contemporary capitalism, and a vital concomitant of democratic government. In this accessible and entertaining account, David Garland cuts through the fog of misunderstandings to explain in clear and simple terms, what welfare states are, how they work, and why they matter.

Smaller than the original, but works well.
When I received it, it was so small that I thought it was a toy, or maybe for some 4cyl engine. It is significantly smaller than the original one. When I looked closer, the mount holes did line up, so I tried it. I did have to get shorter mount bolts. To my surprise, it works great! I don't know what the longevity will be, but it made it through a busy august! Considering the price and how small it is, I might just buy a second one to keep on board. Just in case.

Warning!!!
I was so impressed after install!! Fired right up faster that it ever has in the past, had the boat out about 8 times and CACK!!! They say they will stand behind the product and replace it, but do I risk another day ruined on the river? Btw, I have a Volvo penta 5.0 21.5' Larson I/O

Perfect fit and functioning. Excellent support
The starter fit perfectly, in my Mercruiser 4.3 from 2004, although it was awkward to replace on my engine due to space constraints. I had a few questions for the supplier and quickly received very descriptive answers. Now the starter works perfect in my boat. In all a very good choice which I really can recommend others.

New starter
Part came promptly and was a direct match to the original starter. I did a bench test prior to install and had no issues.
