Social policy and taxation have commonly been regarded in Britain as quite separate aspects of government policy. Changes in taxation appear to be decided largely independently of the aims of social policy, and reforms of the social security system are often proposed with no regard to their fiscal consequences. Despite the fact that Chancellors of the Exchequer have recently arrogated the right to announce increases in National Insurance benefits, there is little evidence of co-ordination between the Treasury and the Department of Health and Social Security over income maintenance. Yet there is clearly a close relationship between these two arms of government policy, and it is important that any proposal for reform should consider taxation and social policy in conjunction.

In the current Gennan debate about economic and social policies, the two main problems, persistent mass unemployment and a rising public debt, are attributed to the failure of the German economy to adapt to a changing global constellation. Rigidities, over-regulation and excessive expectations supported by social security income maintenance systems are held to be responsible for the loss of world market shares. These arguments attribute problems to the Gerrnan welfare state which mainly result from the burdens of unification and the economic and political transforrnation of East Ge1many. The effect of this misdirected discourse is to discredit traditional Gennan welfare state institutions while accomplishing a distributional shift in favour ofprofit and rents, with possible repercussions in terrns ofincreased contlicts.
