| | The Welfare State |
 | | Social protection in France is based on the principle of solidarity: the commitment is declared in the first article of the French Code of Social Security. | | | The United States is sometimes described as a ‘liberal' welfare regime, in the sense that it represents individualism, laissez-faire, residualism and a punitive view of poverty. | | | The "welfare state" usually refers to an ideal model of provision, where the state accepts responsibility for the provision of comprehensive and universal welfare for its citizens. |

| | Social welfare function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Here, the social welfare of society is taken to be related to the income of the poorest person in the society, and maximising welfare would mean maximising the income of the poorest person without regard for the incomes of the others. | | | In this case, maximising the social welfare function means maximising the total income of the people in the society, without regard to how incomes are distributed in society. | | | Kenneth Arrow proved that it is impossible to have a social welfare function that satisfies a set of given 'reasonable' criteria, in his so called impossibility theorem. |
