From Welfare State to Welfare Society

In the 1980s the theme of the welfare state crises surfaced as an idea in good currency. The ideas associated with “crises” have contributed to reframing much of the intellectual discourse about the future development of social policy. In this “frame shift,” a new body of literature emerged. The metaphors of public and private were assimilated in the broader context of crises and emerged as a symbol for the debate about cost shifting. Proponents assumed that a redistribution of cost between the public and private sectors would also affect the aggregate level of spending for social welfare. Opponents argued that sectoral shifts are perversely redistributive, even if they did not affect the level of spending. The literature of the public-private mix implicitly accepted the view that the boundary separating the two sectors could be clearly drawn and focused on the politics of cost shifting.
