Redistributive fiscal policies should not be disparaged as a dead end road to failed socialism. On the contrary, they can form an essential component of the solution toward inclusive growth-with-equity outcomes in many circumstances. They are not incompatible with the broader provision of public goods as a recipe to increase the inclusiveness of economics growth. And they are not incompatible with robust and healthy market-based capitalism, as the example of Scandinavian approaches clearly shows. The dichotomy between redistribution and greater provision of public goods to promote inclusion is a false one. Both can help.
