Hello, welcome to Sunlo UPSC.
In this comprehensive lecture, we explore the evolution of the modern state's role in society, focusing on the rise and transformation of the Welfare State. This session, covering Unit 7, is crucial for UPSC CSE aspirants as it explains the ideological and historical shifts that led governments to take responsibility for the social and economic well-being of their citizens.
We begin by examining the minimalist, laissez-faire state of the 19th century, which primarily focused on maintaining law and order, and contrast it with the interventionist state that emerged in the 20th century. We analyze the social, economic, and political pressures that led to this fundamental transformation.
This video provides a detailed analysis of:
🔹 The Rise of the Welfare State: We trace the origins of welfare policies, from early measures in Bismarck's Germany and Liberal Britain to the profound impact of the Great Depression, which discredited classical economics and gave rise to Keynesianism.
🔹 The "Golden Age" of Welfare: A look at the post-World War II period, where a broad consensus supported a strong welfare state that provided citizens with education, healthcare, unemployment benefits, and pensions "from the cradle to the grave."
🔹 The Crisis and Critique of the Welfare State: We analyze the challenges that the welfare state faced from the 1970s onwards, including economic stagflation, and the rise of the Neoliberal critique, championed by figures like Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, who advocated for privatization and a smaller state.
🔹 The Future of the Welfare State: A discussion on the ongoing debates about the role of the state in the 21st century, in the face of globalization, aging populations, and new economic challenges.
Join us to understand the complex history and contested ideas behind one of the most significant political and economic developments of the modern era.
