When I talk about schools and hospitals in the fight against poverty and inequality, people generally nod in agreement. They may have different ideas about how they should be run and paid for, but we agree on the power of health and the power of education.
But when we talk about social protection there is much greater confusion: confusion created by competing political ideologies, differing economic demands, by misunderstanding about what it is, what it can do and who should be driving it.
