Rothstein's theory provides an ideal for how states should create an equal welfare state. By studying statements made by Sophia Jarl, chairman of the municipal council in Norrköping, this essay finds that the culture policy in Norrköping does not meet the ideals proposed by the constructed norm. The policy in Norrköping is predominantly focused on financial, rather than social values. This could have direct negative consequences for the people in Norrköping, but the risk is that other municipalities follow, causing a decline in social capital, equality and in the long run democracy.
