Bases of criticism of public welfare state:
In regards to criticism of a public welfare state, following are the two bases:
1. Murder of personal freedom:
By the system adopted in a public welfare state, liberty of an individual is compromised. It perfoms works only under its control and guidance. As a result, powers of the state increase, and liberty of an individual gets restricted.
2. Strength of the bureaucracy:
In a public welfare state, most of the works are done by bureaucracy. On account of widening of works and responsibilites of the government, the structure of administration gets widened and the power of administration gets centralised in the hands of government officials. And as such, there develops a fear of bureaucracy becoming corrupt and making various plans of public welfare ineffective for their selfish motives.
