Decline of the Welfare State

[Max Sawicky]

Not at all.  The welfare state in the New Deal sense went great
guns until about 1978.  Since then I would say it has had a bumpy
ride and neither sprang forward nor fell back.

The welfare debate has certainly changed for the worse, but
there is less to the systemic change than meets the eye.

So, are you saying that the political economy of the United States has
remained the same between 1950 - 2000; that the Welfare Economics of the New
Deal etc are still part of the way social and economic policy is made.
