Zusammenfassung: | Welfare economics, although a fundamental branch of the economy, is not present in
the discussions of today s economists who are dealing with the political economy. They
are mainly focusing their attention on, for instance, statistics and other economic issues
like GDP growth or fiscal policies. Welfare economics is presented here, including the
ethical dilemma of the economy, as a critical topic to be examined. After discussing the
social and private costs in the framework of welfare economics, this paper focuses on
the modern welfare state and its connection to the real economy. The problem of the
social cost as discussed by Arthur Pigou and Ronald Coase is also described. Two new
corollaries to the Coase theorem are presented and described in light of the heavy public
debt burdened by advanced economies. It is also demonstrated that public debt is not
due to the costs of the state of modern welfare, which in the framework of this paper,
is described in accordance with four major economic pillars: health, unemployment,
pensions and education. Demography, on the one hand, and income inequality on the
other, are discussed as being two critical elements both in macro and microeconomics,
which are also supposed to change many of the traditional businesses such as banking
and finance, healthcare and retail distribution
La economía del bienestar es una rama fundamental de la economía que hoy no se
encuentra entre las discusiones de los economistas que tratan de política económica,
que están más enfocados a discusiones de corte estadístico relacionadas con
el crecimiento del PIB o la política fiscal. La economía del bienestar se presenta
aquí incluyendo además el problema ético en economía como uno de los aspectos
críticos a discutir. Después de discutir los costes públicos y privados en el contexto
de la economía del bienestar, este artículo se centra en el estado del bienestar moderno
y su conexión con la economía real. El problema del coste social discutido
por Arthur Pigou y Ronald Coase se describe igualmente. Dos nuevos corolarios
del Teorema de Coase son descritos y presentados en relación con la enorme deuda
pública soportada por las economías avanzadas. Se demuestra también que la
deuda pública no se debe a los costes del moderno estado del bienestar que, en el
contexto del presente artículo, se describe de acuerdo a cuatro importantes pilares
económicos: salud, desempleo, pensiones y educación. La demografía, por un lado,
