Abstract: Students of contemporary statecraft have long argued that welfare states shape societies. Social programs do not merely provide benefits to individuals. They reinforce or undermine social hierarchies and shape citizens' views about natural bases of political solidarity (Esping-Anderson 1990). In southern Europe, for instance, corporatist welfare regimes tied social protections to the male breadwinner and other traditional social institutions, while means-tested programs in Anglo-Saxon nations reinforce the social stigma of direct public benefits.
