Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article locates the genesis of the recent initiative to create minimal levels of social protection worldwide much earlier than conventional wisdom. Rather than seeing this initiative as a relatively new one, the author argues that it is resurrecting and building upon core ideas from the foundation of the postwar international economic order in the early 1940s. This argument rests on a major reinterpretation of the origins of the 1944 Bretton Woods agreements. Drawing on extensive archival work, the author shows that the Bretton Woods negotiations were informed by new commitments to provide ‘social security’ and ‘freedom from want’ worldwide in ways that echo the aspirations of contemporary proponents of the Social Protection Floor Initiative. These goals found widespread support not just among leading US and British policymakers at the time but also among many officials from other countries involved in the Bretton Woods negotiations, including those from poor countries. Although this aspect of the Bretton Woods vision was de-emphasized after the war, this neglected history helps to identify some deep intellectual and political roots of contemporary debates.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
