The idea of justice in liberal-conservative ideology: theoretical foundations

Josep Baqués Quesada

Revista Galega de Economía, 2020, vol. 29, issue 1, 1-18

Abstract: The liberal conservative ideology is often seen as the enemy of the welfare state. However, it in fact includes diagnoses and remedies to consolidate a stronger society. This article explores the theoretical foundations of this proposal, particularly in regard to the two major themes of equality and poverty, as well as the role attributed to State and market to achieve a nuanced conclusion, in which criticism of egalitarianism, pragmatic concessions to certain social policies and more convinced bets are combined in favor of disadvantaged groups.
