Abstract
The current crisis situation forces us to ask ourselves about the limits of the Welfare State of well–being of Western societies. In order to illuminate this reflection this article presents the reflection on the role of the State in society as it has developed in the social teaching. To help realize these intuitions then are put in dialogue with two liberal school thinkers: Friedrich Hayek and Amartya Sen. This dialogue will help us understand the incompatibility of the position of the social teaching with liberal radical positions by assume are a vision of man and society opposed to the Catholic social tradition. On the other hand, the vision of Sen is very compatible and you can help us to develop principles of discernment to judge the presence of the State in society.
