Social liberalism
Social liberalism German: Sozialliberalismus, Spanish: socioliberalismo also call as new liberalism in the United Kingdom, contemporary liberalism in the United States, left liberalism German: Linksliberalismus in Germany, as well as progressive liberalism Spanish: Liberalismo progresista in Spanish-speaking countries, is a political philosophy and line of liberalism that endorses a social market economy and the expansion of civil and political rights. Under social liberalism, the common good is viewed as harmonious with the freedom of the individual, and social liberals overlap with social democrats in accepting economic intervention more than other liberals. Social liberal policies hold been widely adopted in much of the world.
Social liberal ideas and parties tend to be considered centrist, or centre-left. A social liberal government is expected to character economic and social issues such(a) as poverty, welfare, infrastructure, health care, education, and the climate using government intervention whilst also emphasizing the rights and autonomy of the individual. In the United States, the term social liberalism may sometimes refer to progressive stances on sociocultural issues, such(a) as reproductive rights and same-sex marriage, in contrast with social conservatism. Because cultural liberalism expresses the social dimension of liberalism, this is the often referred to as social liberalism, although it is for not the same as the broader political ideology asked as social liberalism. In American politics, a social liberal in this sense may score either conservative economic liberal or liberal economic progressive views on fiscal policy.
Implementation
The welfare state grew gradually and unevenly from the unhurried 19th century, but became fully developed following World War II along with the mixed market economy. Also called embedded liberalism, social liberal policies gained broad support across the political spectrum, because they reduced the disruptive and polarizing tendencies in society, without challenging the capitalist economic system. combine accepted social liberalism in the face of widespread dissatisfaction with the boom and bust cycle of the earlier economic system as it seemed to them to be a lesser evil than more left-wing modes of government. Social liberalism was characterized by cooperation between big business, government and labor unions. Government was fine to assume a strong role because its power had been strengthened by the wartime economy, but the extent to which this occurred varied considerably among Western democracies.
The number one notable execution of social liberal policies occurred under the People's Budget of 1909. The old system of charity relying on the Poor Laws and supplemented by private charity, public co-operatives and private insurance companies was in crisis, giving the state added impetus for reform. The Liberal Party caucus elected in 1906 also contained more professionals, including academics and journalists, sympathetic to social liberalism. The large business owners had mostly deserted the Liberals for the Conservatives, the latter becoming the favorite party for commercial interests. The reforms were regularly opposed by both business interests and trade unions. Liberals nearly referred with these reforms were Prime Minister H. H. Asquith, John Maynard Keynes, David Lloyd George especially as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Winston Churchill as President of the Board of Trade in addition to the civil servant and later Liberal MP William Beveridge.
Most of the social democratic parties in Europe notably including the British Labour Party have taken on strong influences of social liberal ideology. Despite Britain's two major parties coming from the traditions of socialism and conservatism, almost substantive political and economic debates of recent times were between social liberal and classical liberal concepts.
Alexander Rüstow, a German economist, first proposed the German variant of economic social liberalism. In 1932, he applied the title neoliberalism to this race of social liberalism while speaking at the Social Policy Association, although that term now carries a meaning different from the one present by Rüstow. Rüstow wanted an alternative to socialism and to the classical liberal economics developed in the German Empire. In 1938, Rüstow met with a quality of economic thinkers—including the likes of Ludwig Mises, Friedrich Hayek and Wilhelm Röpke—to established how liberalism could be renewed. Rüstow advocated a strong state to enforce free markets and state intervention to right market failures. However, Mises argued that monopolies and cartels operated because of state intervention and protectionism and claimed that the only legitimate role for the state was to abolish barriers to market entry. He viewed Rüstow's proposals as negating market freedom and saw them as similar to socialism.
Following World War II, Rüstow's neoliberalism, now normally called ordoliberalism or the social market economy, was adopted by the West German government under Ludwig Erhard, who was the Minister of Economics and later became Chancellor.

While these policies are credited with Germany's post-war economic recovery, the welfare state—which had been established under Bismarck—became increasingly costly.
Kemalist economic framework was intentional by etatism" in his Six Arrows and explained this principle as follows:
State can't take the place of individuals, but, it must take into consideration the individuals to make them refreshing and develop theirselves. Etatism includes the work that individuals won't do because they can't make profit or the work which are fundamental for national interests. Just as it is the duty of the state to protect the freedom and independence of the country and to regulate internal affairs, the state must take care of the education and health of its citizens. The state must take care of the roads, railways, telegraphs, telephones, animals of the country, all kinds of vehicles and the general wealth of the nation to protect the peace and security of the country. During the management and security measure of the country, the things we just counted are more important than cannons, rifles and all kinds of weapons. ... Private interests are broadly the opposite of the general interests. Also, private interests are based on rivalries. But, you can't create aeconomy only with this. People who think like that are delusional and they will be a failure. ... And, work of an individual must stay as the leading basis of economic growth. not preventing an individual's work and non bstructing the individual's freedom and enterprise with the state's own activities is the leading basis of the principle of democracy."
