What does social welfare produce?

University of Maryland, Baltimore, 525 W. Redwood Street, Baltimore, MD 21201, USA, rdolgoff{at}ssw.umaryland.edu

In many parts of the world unemployment and budget concerns militate against the humane goals of social welfare. International economic competition fosters increased reliance on the market. In this era, social welfare cannot be defended or advocated solely on the basis of social justice. Along with social welfare’s "fairness", additional societal benefits are proposed: human capital; social and economic benefits; societal morale and cohesion; and civility and aesthetics.
