Part 1. Introductory Part: Background and Rationale -- Chapter 1. Introduction: On the Particular Nature of Ideal Types Applied and Moving Science Forward a Bit at a Time -- Part 2. Theory Building: From Empirical Reality for Social Policy Practice -- Chapter 2. On the Methodology Applied -- Chapter 3. Ten Ideal-Typical Worlds and Their Individual Sets of Key Characteristics -- Chapter 4. Welfare Regimes and Their Povertization and Inequality Outcomes -- Chapter 5. Distinct Shades and Patterns of Dehumanization: Mapping Global Welfare Regimes -- Part 3. Normative/Concluding Part -- Chapter 6. Back to the Future: Income Polarization, Mass Povertization and Simple Ways Out of It -- Chapter 7. Decency for All: Universal Basic Income, Smart Universalism, Provident Funds, and Primarily Taxing the Super-Rich.

This book presents a new step farther into the twenty-first century, for the first time truly combining a comprehensive global data analysis with social policy theory development. The theory of global ideal-typical welfare regimes, also known as the "Ten Worlds of Welfare Regime Theory", as set forth earlier by Christian Aspalter, is now in this book tested empirically using a quantitative global data analysis for the first time. The strong and rich results fully vindicated the Ten Worlds Theory. All in all, about 150 countries are included in this test, measuring numerous variables on two main dimensions, i.e., povertization and inequality. The innovative approach of using a new indicator, Aspalter's Standardized Relative Performance Index, is applied, which facilitated the exact measurements of distances between relative performances of each variable, each dimension, each country, and each ideal-typical welfare regime (in relation to one another, respectively) In addition, one explanative and one normative meta-study is added to the book, to point to ways to understand and deal with the global culprit of inequality and, hence, poverty. "On the backdrop of decades of comparative theoretical and empirical research we now, for the first time, have a truly global analysis of welfare regimes." -- Peter Abrahamson, Department of Sociology, University of Copenhagen.
