The paper seeks to build a trilateral counterpoint among the typologies of the welfare state, Schumpeter's democratic method, and Veblen's thought. After a detailed presentation of these three thematic axes in the scenario of "Schumpeterian" democracy, characterized by a market-like competition for votes, as well as the social mechanisms elaborated by Veblen (leisure class, emulation, vested interests, and sabotage), connections were established with the typologies of the welfare state presented by Fiori (1997). These connections point towards a conservative and corporatist Welfare State, indicating a tendency of Schumpeter's democratic method to, through public policies, promote the maintenance of the predatory habits of the leisure class and social inequality.
