Political consequences
Few of the countries of Western Europe and North America were liberal democracies in the 1880s; all of them are today. The public sectors of most Western countries were relatively small in the 1880s; most of them are now much larger, to the point where most modern economies are referred to as mixed economies. The last 100 years, and in particular the last 30 years, have witnessed what must be the highest rates of economic growth in human history

Economic Implications
The welfare state has both positive and negative economic consequences. While social safety nets reduce poverty, improve living standards, and promote economic stability, critics argue excessive welfare spending can lead to inefficiencies and disincentivize work. Additionally, demographic challenges such as aging populations and declining birth rates pose significant fiscal sustainability concerns, necessitating reforms to ensure long-term viability.

The coming of political democracy undoubtedly promoted the development of the welfare state; the welfare state may well have made Western economies grow faster than they would otherwise have done.In addition, the analyst has to contend with the problem of counterfactuals. To ask questions about the consequences of any phenomenon in the real world is to ask what the world would have been like if the phenomenon had never come into existence or had operated differently.
