A welfare state is a concept of government in which the state plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens. It is based on the principles of equality of opportunity, equitable distribution of wealth, and public responsibility for those unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life. The general term may cover a variety of forms of economic and social organization. The sociologist T.H. Marshall described the modern welfare state as a distinctive combination of democracy, welfare, and capitalism.
Modern welfare states include the Nordic countries, such as Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland which employ a system known as the Nordic model. Esping-Andersen classified the most developed welfare state systems into three categories; Social Democratic, Conservative, and Liberal.
The welfare state involves a transfer of funds from the state, to the services provided (i.e., healthcare, education, etc.), as well as directly to individuals ("benefits"). It is funded through redistributionisttaxation and is often referred to as a type of "mixed economy". Such taxation usually includes a larger income tax for people with higher incomes, called a progressive tax. This helps to reduce the income gap between the rich and poor.

The myth of 'us' and 'them' - why we all need the welfare state | Peter Whiteford | TEDxCanberra
Peter Whiteford has spent much of his life studying the economics of the welfare state.

A welfare state is a concept of government in which the state plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens. It is based on the principles of equality of opportunity, equitable distribution of wealth, and public responsibility for those unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life. The general term may cover a variety of forms of economic and social organization. The sociologist T.H. Marshall described the modern welfare state as a distinctive combination of democracy, welfare, and capitalism.
Modern welfare states include the Nordic countries, such as Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland which employ a system known as the Nordic model. Esping-Andersen classified the most developed welfare state systems into three categories; Social Democratic, Conservative, and Liberal.
The welfare state involves a transfer of funds from the state, to the services provided (i.e., healthcare, education, etc.), as well as directly to individuals ("benefits"). It is funded through redistributionisttaxation and is often referred to as a type of "mixed economy". Such taxation usually includes a larger income tax for people with higher incomes, called a progressive tax. This helps to reduce the income gap between the rich and poor.
Everything around here makes me sad Everything is part of the dreams that we had That will never be the way we wanted them to be When we dreamed these dreams that we had We wanted them to be the future That is now is not how we dreamed of the future With a house and a love that I would ride into the future With my arms around you tight My love in your heart, my lust on your shoulder Is like a beautiful [Incomprehensible] Flashing gallant as a stallion on parade through the city A beautiful dream, a bohemian love song That would only sound more gallant as the years would perfect it But I can see in my heart which is beating in the present here and now I can see that this is only a dream Come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me Everything around here is so beautiful Everything is part of the dreams we will paint That will never look the way we thought that they would look When we began to step into the future From the place that we are standing It don't look too good right now But I know you're a wonderful painter You're a master with your colors And as mine get fainter and your pallet There will always be an afterglow of a beautiful dream That will never be the way we dreamed it to be But hey, come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me
