Welfare State Criticism as Elite Criticism in 1970s Denmark
No full textThis chapter describes the advent of welfare state criticism as elite criticism in the Danish political debate. It focuses on three of the most prolific contemporary critics of the welfare state: founder of the libertarian populist party Fremskridtspartiet, Mogens Glistrup; Marxist and economist Jørgen Dich; and Bertel Haarder, member of the Danish Liberal Party. The chapter highlights how welfare state criticism as elite criticism came about in processes of conceptual circulation and transformation, which, at times, eluded individual intentions and control but nonetheless signified an ideational convergence. While many politicians, scholars, and intellectuals from different ideological camps voiced welfare state criticism as elite criticism, some played more crucial role than others in framing debate on crisis of the welfare state. Welfare state criticism as elite criticism was constructed in processes of circulation through which social commentators picked up, appropriated, and transformed rhetorical styles and political concepts to fit several highly diverse political agendas.<br/

I sin artikel ”En partisan i kamp for historier i flertal. Reinhart Kosellecks historieteoretiske alternativ til historiefilosofien”, peger Olsen således på, at begrebshistorien, og det dermed forbundne leksikon Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe, lige så meget bør ses som et led i Kosellecks overordnede opgør med den universalistiske historiefilosofi, der frem for alt lader sig identificere i oplysningstiden, og som Koselleck – i tråd med filosoffen Karl Löwith – anså for at være en sekularisering af tidligere kristen eskatologi. Olsen viser, hvorledes dette ærinde udfoldede sig i en række kritiske studier, bl.a. i værkerne Kritik und Krise (1959) og Preußen zwischen Reform und Revolution (1967), men også hvorledes Koselleck herigennem blev ansporet til at udvikle sine egne forestillinger om forskellige tidslige lag i historien
