Abstract
Recent political developments portend a reformulation of the welfare state consistent with private-sector principles. Corporate reform of the government monopoly of social welfare is congruent with the interests of proprietary service providers while conflicting with the objectives of welfare bureaucrats. Traditional providers furnish rhetorical support to the neoconservative initiative. The consequences of this development include the introduction of the rationality of the marketplace as the dominant means for organizing service provision, the focusing of service delivery on discrete individual problems, and the retreat from universalized coverage of at-risk populations. Neoconservative "think tanks" provide theoretical and empirical support to this movement.
