Description: Why is the United States one of the few advanced democratic market societies that do not offer child care as a universal public benefit or entitlement? This book - a comprehensive history of child care policy and practices in the United States from the colonial period to the present - shows why the current child care system evolved as it did and places its history within a broad comparative context.
