'''Social Liberalism''' ('''SocLib''') also called '''Left-Liberalism''' ('''LeftLib'''), '''Modern Liberalism''' ('''ModLib'''), '''Welfare Liberalism''' ('''WelLib''') and '''New Liberalism''' ('''NewLib''') is an economically [[File:Centrist-yellow.png]] [[:Category:Centrists|center]] to [[File:Centre-Lib.png]] or [[:Category:Centrists|center]][[:Category:Libertarian Unity|-lib]] [[File:CLeft.png]] [[:Category:Centrists|center]][[:Category:Left_Unity|-left]], [[File:Civilib.png]] [[Civil_Libertarianism#Civil_Liberalism|civically liberal]], [[File:Prgess.png]] [[:Category:Culturally Left|culturally progressive]], and diplomatically [[File:Internation.png]] [[Internationalism|internationalist]] political ideology which combines elements of [[File:Liberal Democracy.png]] [[Liberalism#Liberal_Democracy|liberal democracy]] and [[File:Regulationism.png]] [[Regulationism|economic interventionism]] in the name of "ensuring [[File:EconProg.png]] [[Progressivism#Economic_Progressivism|economic justice]] as well as [[File:Civlibert.png]] [[Civil Libertarianism|civil liberty]]". Social Liberals view the common good as harmonious with [[File:CultLib.png]] [[Liberalism#Cultural_Liberalism|individual freedom]]. Much of Social Liberalism's success is because its policies have gained broad support across the political spectrum because of its [[File:Left Reformism.png]] [[Reformism|reform-minded policies]] that address societal problems without overhauling the [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|capitalist]] economic system. As economic circumstances became direr in places, many were more willing to accept social liberalism since it seemed to be less radical and evil than [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|other forms]] of a left-wing government. Because of this, Social liberalism has been characterized by cooperation between [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|businesses]], [[File:Regulationism.png]] [[Regulationism|government]] and [[File:LibSyndieSam.png]] [[Syndicalism|labor unions]]. Social liberals overlap with [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|social democrats]] in accepting [[File:Regulationism.png]] [[Regulationism|economic intervention]] more than other liberals, although its importance is considered auxiliary compared to [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|social democrats]]. Addressing economic and social issues such as poverty, welfare, infrastructure, health care, education, and the climate using government intervention while emphasizing [[File:Indiv.png]] {{PCBA|Individualism|individual rights and autonomy}} are expectations under a social liberal government. Many governments throughout the modern world have successfully adopted social liberal policies, and is now the dominant form of liberalism in North America, where it's often referred to as simply 'liberalism'.
