Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show that, contrary to neoliberal belief, social welfare services and spending should be recognised as the driving force behind a development dynamics based on knowledge-intensive production. In the first part, we shall briefly present the relationship between public debt and private debt. In the second part, we shall present a series of stylised facts which highlight the key role played by welfare state institutions in the genesis and development of a knowledge-based economy. In the third part, these general considerations will be corroborated through an international comparison between the Nordic welfare model and the Anglo-Saxon welfare model. This comparison reveals a strong positive correlation between the level of development of welfare state institutions and that of a knowledge-based economy.
