The current economic crisis has revived the interest in social rights. The steep rise inpublic expenditure of the past decades called for a rethinking of the welfare state. Therefore,social rights have now entered a new phase: from tools of social justice and equityto inefficient and expensive features of public intervention. In the past, social rights weresubjected to a strict scrutiny of compatibility with individual freedoms and the Rechtsstaat.Today the main issue is their economic sustainability. However, from the point of view oftheir efficiency what matters is not just the cost of the rights but also the net social benefitthey yield. This is what determines and maintains the support to their constitutional protection.Given the nature of the goods that ensure their enforcement, economic analysiscan show that the public protection of social rights favours constitutional agreement onall fundamental rights, including individual freedoms, which would be arduous otherwise.
