This book examines how insurance companies reshaped concepts of risk, security, and governance in the United States after World War II. It explores the growing role of private insurers in managing social and economic risks traditionally handled by the state, influencing areas such as workplace safety, consumer protection, and public policy. By analyzing the privatization of security through insurance-based governance, the work offers important insights into political economy, regulation, and the modern American state.
