WELFARE STATE AND THE SOCIAL ECONOMIC SCENARIO OF POST-WAR

The importance that the State has had in most countries since World War II has given rise to the denomination of WELFARE STATE OR WELFARE STATE, to refer to a series of government instruments that regulate social life. This set of practices has departed considerably from liberal principles.

THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE MARKET ECONOMY THAT DEFENDS THE ALLOCATION OF SERVICES BASED ON SUPPLY AND DEMAND, AND THE EQUALITARIST DEMANDS OF THE LOWER CLASSES, FAVORED THE EMERGENCE OF THE SO-CALLED SOCIAL STATE

GIVEN THE LITTLE DEVELOPMENT of the workers' organizations, the social policy of the Social State is organized from the government;
