European social model


Explanation:
The use of "social" varies between EN and the Romance languages; there is a strong undertone of solidarity and welfare in the latter, which is not as strongly felt in EN.
The term "European social model" is often used to make the distinction between Anglo-Saxon capitalism and the modern European welfare state / social democracy (although I admit the lines are getting increasingly blurred nowadays :-)).
