Description

This book examines whether it is possible for governments to improve the wellbeing of its citizens, whilst simultaneously enhancing individual liberty. It is traditionally argued that these two policy goals are incompatible. Any attempts to improve welfare result in greater government interventions, whilst any gains in individual freedom often involve an absence of restrictions, which have a detrimental effect on wellbeing.
By enhancing the notion of ‘liberal welfarism’, this book argues that it is possible for governments to simultaneously accommodate both wellbeing and freedom. First, it provides a conceptual overview of ‘liberal welfarism’, and explains how it originates from combining the theoretical approaches of libertarian paternalism and the capability approach. It then demonstrates how the theory of ‘liberal welfarism’ can be implemented in practice, and the implications of this for politics and policy-making, especially with regards to social policy, security policy, and environmental policy. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book will appeal to all those interested in public policy, politics, philosophy, and behavioral economics.
