Books by David A. Moss

Socializing Security examines the early movement for worker-security legislation in the U.S. The author focuses on a group of academic economists who became leading proponents of social insurance and protective labor legislation during the first decades of the 20th century and founded the American Association for Labor Legislation (AALL).

One of the most important functions of government-risk management-is one of the least well understood. Moving beyond familiar public functions-spending, taxation, and regulation-Moss spotlights government's pivotal role as a risk manager, revealing the nature and extent of this function, which touches almost every aspect of economic life.
