There will be short posts today and tomorrow, as I finish up a work project. Peter Hall and David Soskice distinguish three different types of welfare states: a Liberal model, a Universalistic model, and a Christian Democratic model. These typologies will all coexist within countries, but they capture important tendencies. In the liberal model, the poor are given vouchers so that they can choose which goods to purchase in the private sector, such as food stamps or housing vouchers. America, Canada, Australia, and the UK are all inclined to structure programs in this manner. In the universalist model, the government provides a service to free of charge to everyone in the population regardless of income. This generous model is sometimes associated with the Nordic countries, but all developed world, have public education systems based on this principle.
