Abstract
The basic objectives of any aggregate welfare program are threefold: efficiency, equity and stability. In this paper, I discuss how constraints are imposed in a natural way over these conditions such that aggregate welfare distortions arise. There are three mitigating forces, namely: fiscal policy, monetary policy and regulatory policy. These are characterized from context to context.
