This section explores the social structural prerequisites of cooperative versus disintegrative individualism, delving into welfare state orders, their functions, and dysfunctions. It presents general hypotheses regarding these functions and dysfunctions, supported by empirical findings that examine social expenditures and economic performance, social capital, poverty, and inequality. The analysis includes a performance comparison of welfare state regimes in Germany, the UK, and Sweden, highlighting typological differentiation and country-specific characteristics. The development of social capital is assessed through political parties, voter participation, trade unions, churches, and interpersonal trust. Additionally, the evolution of income and wealth inequality is scrutinized, focusing on long-term trends in personal income distribution and poverty. The section also contrasts market liberalism with corporatism and addresses the structural changes in labor markets and forms of employment, emphasizing the significance of regular and precarious work as well as unemployment. The exploration of these themes provides a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics between welfare state structures and individualism, contributing to the broader discourse on social policy and economic performance.
