Current political debates about relations between “work” and “welfare” do not take enough account of the changing character of Occupation. In a world of primary and secondary industries (e.g. farming and manufacturing) working tends to be equated with being employed, and welfare with not having a job. But these relations cannot be generalized. Increasingly, new occupations involve “self‐employment” (so‐called) and cannot easily be evaluated in terms of employment statistics. Intelligently organized, rather, welfare in the form of institution‐building can serve the shared interests of the whole Community, and so generate valuable social products that provide the Society with some essential infrastructure
