| Abstract: | A national identity must be grounded in a civic concept of state, economy, family and community relations. This argument is made by tracing a historical/structural model of the evolution of welfare regimes from (i) a gendered social compact grounded in class, to (ii) a genderless market contract grounded in status, to (iii) an intergenerational covenant grounded in civic ethos. |
