ABSTRACT

Giddens put forward the idea of the third way in his book The Third Way: Revival of social democracy, hoping to go beyond the "Left and Right" system and find a new system that can solve new problems. In his description of his welfare ideology, he mentioned the cooperation between the state and civil society, the involvement of the third sector, the self-help development of the community, and the concept of a "democratic family". He believes that an equal society should have "equality, limited elite rule, revival of public space, a society beyond labor, active welfare policies, and a social investment oriented country." His ideas have played a positive role in promoting China's economy, politics, environmental protection, and other aspects.
