Evidence

Drawing on the experience of the New Deal, the US delegation sought a compromise that would transform political demands for redistribution into flexible standards, adjustable in line with policy considerations, and thus never on the same level as civil and political rights. — Jessica Whyte, The Morals of the Market, 152

Categorization

• ADDENDUM: Directly supports ‘On Sacrifice’ and the reader’s austerity work: how welfare-state concessions were designed as adjustable, never-binding standards rather than enforceable entitlements.

• XREF: connects to: Drafting of welfare rights pitted flexible standards against state obligations — Jessica Whyte, The Morals of the Market: Human Rights…, 196
