Rapporten inleds: Beveridgeplanen bildade en viktig men inte oomstridd utgångspunkt för brittisk efterkrigstida välfärdspolitik. Också för det svenska socialpolitiska reformprogrammet var den betydelsefull.11 Åter till uttrycketFreedom from fear and freedom from want.Detkommer igen som en av åtta punkter i Roosevelts och Churchills Atlantdeklaration, också den före det japanska anfallet på Pearl Harbour eller från augusti 1941.12 11 Per Gunnar Edebalk, Gustav Möller En legendarisk socialpolitiker, Lund, 2021, s. 89 ff. och Per Gunnar Edebalk, Socialvetenskapliga klassiker Beveridgeplanen en klassiker https://socvet.se/article/download/2879/2203. 12 Om det tillåts mig, se även Eyvind Johnson, Krilon själv, Stockholm, 1943, s. 559 ff. där fastighetsmäklaren Johannes Krilon och hans amerikanske vän Frank Lind en vacker sommardag i en roddbåt, målad i gråblå slagskeppsfärg, i en Mälarvik utarbetar Mälardeklara110 The first principle is that any proposals for the future, while they should use to the full the experience gathered in the past, should not be restricted by, consideration of sectional interests established in the obtaining of that experience. Now, when the war is abolishing landmarks of every kind, is the opportunity for using experience in aclear field.A revolutionary moment in the world’s history is a time for revolutions, not for patching. Three Guiding Principles of Recommendations The second principle is that organisation of social insurance should be treated as one part only of a comprehensive, policy of social progress. Social insurance fully developed may provide income security; it is an attack upon Want. But Want is only one of five giants on the road of reconstruction and in some ways the easiest to attack. The others are Decease, Ignorance, Squalor and Idleness. The third principle is that social security must be achieved by co-operation between the State and the individual. The State should offer security for service and contribution. The State in organising security should not stifle incentive, opportunity, responsibility; in establishing a national minimum, it should leave room and encouragement for voluntary action by each individual to provide more than that minimum for himself and his family.
