European Social Models (ESM) is a book of considerable ambition. Because of its high professional standards, its editors, Jon Erik Dølvik and Andrew Martin, fulfil many promises they make at its beginning. This includes a key one of bringing forward a wealth of evidence according to which the case for one‐size‐fits‐all supply‐side ‘structural reforms’ in Europe is deeply flawed in the context of the current crisis.
