Description
Compassion is extended not only toward those unable to compete in the marketplace but also toward the numerous interest groups and institutions - labor, business, nonprofit agencies - that depend on the state's largesse for their own well-being. This distinctive political blend can produce inconsistent yet complementary public policies, such as providing tax incentives for economic development alongside liberal Medicaid benefits.
