Welfare states, beyond ideology

Article Abstract:

Evidence has shown that the Austrian-born free-market economist Friedrich August von Hayek's idea of high-taxation as a road to serfdom, a threat to freedom itself, is wrong. A generous social-welfare state is not just a road to serfdom but rather to fairness, economic equality and international competitiveness in strong and vibrant democracies.
