Who argued that "the first step in conceptualising the Welfare State involves locating the primary source of tension that gave rise to its particular political economy …."?
Answer: B
The quotation is from Esping-Andersen, whose work on the 'three worlds of welfare capitalism' analyses the welfare state as a political economy shaped by the tension between market and state.
Golden and Katz, Blunch and Verner, and A. Wood are not associated with this formulation of the welfare state's primary source of tension, so they are rejected. Gosta Esping-Andersen's classification of liberal, conservative and social democratic welfare regimes is the best known work on the subject, and that is the reason the quotation is attributed to him.
