Applied Social and Political Philosophy by Elizabeth Smith

The question of what is morally right is not identical to the quite different, though often and confusingly related, question of how the state should intervene, if at all. What is the proper role of the state? What is the relation between the power of the state to command the obedience of its citizens and the freedom of the individual citizen to pursue their own individual interests? Economically, how much can and should the state do and who is going to pay for it?
