Abstract

The private welfare industry is dependent on state capital in three phases that partly overlap with each other. First, state capital as initial capital and venture capital. Second, state capital as a source of income. And third, directly linked to the emergence of the divided welfare state, the dependence on state capital as a co-financier of new, semi-private welfare services. The chapter elaborates on all the three phases. The first two phases are supply based and they inevitably lead to the third one, where the private welfare industry has direct or indirect access to state capital through tax breaks or freeriding on public infrastructure. Then, the welfare model changes on the demand side through the topping up opportunities offered by the private providers.
