Abstract
This paper has its origin in my concern to integrate consideration of economic and social policy. Economic and social issues are too often discussed in isolation, whereas they are deeply interconnected. We cannot separate economic and social policy. As I argue in the paper, macro-economic policy interacts with anti-poverty policy.
