Review: onservatives commonly complain that the welfare state punished the diligent and rewards the idle, while it transforms everyone into a dependent client of the government. Radicals and others argue that the welfare state fails to reduce poverty, achieve equality, or promote social justice. Professor Wilensky, who is engaged in long-term research designed to infuse this debate with empirical substance, here offers a first report on his findings. Using social security as a test case, the author explores two basic problems in the study of rich (or post-industrial) first, the interplay of affluence, economic system, political system and ideology; second, the effect of social organization on the behavior of political elites.
