In "What's so new about social investment? Evidence from the history of the Danish welfare state" @ludvigsev and Troels Krarup find utilitarian logics similar to the modern social investment paradigm were central in the early formative period of the welfare state.
The article is part of the upcoming special issue on "Social Investment in Action" edited by @ditteandersen and Magnus Paulsen Hansen.

TY to those who have organised and will join the protest that will decide the future of Italy & EU: #NORearmEU
The current plans to destroy the #WelfareState-the safety net we've in EU,compared to the ferocity of capitalism in US -started after 9/11,as @wikileaks cables reveal
So...the resources that should be allocated to fight #climateemergency, not to mention its widrawal impact on public services, the main core of the social contract between the State and the citizens, are to be plundered by the war industries and its minions, already fattening themselves on the misery in Ukraine and Palestine and the lesser mediatized wars that keep the business flourishing. #droledeguerre #warlords #deathindustries

neanche la Strategia della Tensione ha minacciato così l'identità del nostro Paese, un paese in cui, da fronti diversi, cattolici e progressisti hanno forgiato un'identità nazionale basata sul #WelfareState. Ora arrivano i neofascisti e lo distruggono
@williamlmiller Thanks for the details. Both the negative and positive income taxes kill incentives to work hard for the consumer. This is how the law of marginal utility works. The APF is a bureaucratic plaything. It is a road to full #socialism. People should choose between equality and prosperity. They can't have both.
