American Social Capitalism: A Policy Framework for Competitive Markets, Universal Social Insurance, and Fiscal Responsibility

Résumé fourni par la source

American Social Capitalism: A Policy Framework for Competitive Markets, Universal Social Insurance, and Fiscal Responsibility presents an independently developed policy framework built around a simple idea: preserve competitive markets while ensuring that Americans are protected from the economic risks that can destroy a household’s financial security. The paper argues for a system that keeps private ownership, entrepreneurship, investment, and market competition at the center of the economy while using broad-based taxation to provide stronger social insurance against major risks, including catastrophic healthcare costs, disability, unemployment, poverty in old age, and severe childhood hardship. The framework examines three fiscal scenarios: cautious, baseline, and optimistic. Each scenario uses published estimates from the Congressional Budget Office, Joint Committee on Taxation, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Social Security Administration, Government Accountability Office, Census Bureau, KFF, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, while clearly identifying areas where no formal federal score exists and policy assumptions are required. This paper is not a peer-reviewed academic study. It is a public policy white paper intended to contribute to the broader discussion about how the United States can combine competitive markets, stronger social insurance, healthcare reform, and long-term fiscal responsibility.
