The article analyses the roots of the welfare state as a social model developed
in particular historical context. It also questions the simplifi ed concepts of the
welfare state, refers to the genesis of the crisis of the Scandinavian model and
presents the consequences of the neoliberal offensive – such as “brutalistation
of work” – eroding its key achievements. It recommends the labour movement
to: defend the welfare state achievements, to fi ght against the international institutionalization of neo-liberalism, as well as for the democratization and further
development of social services/institutions in joint efforts of consumers and the
producers.
