The survival of the welfare state

Article Abstract:

An analysis of a theory formulated to the dynamics of income redistribution where policy is set through repeated voting by forward-looking rational agents and current policy affects future political outcomes through changes in the distribution of voters. The theory provides insights on salient aspects such as, it predicts that welfare state policies and their effects on distribution are persistent, and it suggests that welfare state institutions are intrinsically fragile, since even political majorities benefiting from redistribution may want to strategically vote for policies leading to the dismantlement of the welfare state.
