Question:

Why is there Division over the State in Liberalism? What is an Enabling State?

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-Liberalism is Split over the Role of the State -Classical says the State should be a 'Nightwatchman' and protect Inflidival Freedom via Law -Modern calls for an Enabling State: Offering a Hand Up, not Handout, to allow Individuals to Achieve their reams and AIms and be Free (Positive Freedom!) -Modern justifies such because Capitalism and Limited State create Huge Inequalities, and thus hold people back from achieving what they want to do. The State must intervene, and ensure Equality of opportunity is Achieved and Positive Freedom. A Welfare State may even be made.
