Conservatives tend to favor lesser government interference in the free market and a smaller safety net for the poor. Liberalism, which is more strongly associated with social work, favors a free market but with some government controls to avoid people being disadvantaged. Liberalism also sees failure, generally, as a result of complex forces that are not entirely within individuals' control.
