Produktbeschreibung

Are Welfare States in crisis? Forty years after Gunnar Myrdal's seminal Beyond the Welfare State it is still little grasped in the 'reform' debate that the whole structure and economies of our societies are being transformed. This book reasserts the importance of a new employment and productive model - that of the 'associative economy' - which integrates social solidarity with economic planning.

He rightly points to the structural and institutional conditions by which we can guarantee the preservation of the Welfare State by way of its transformation into a Welfare Society.' - Jacques Delors, former President of the European Union

'I welcome the constructive analysis by Franco Archibugi of the ways in which all the key stakeholders can co-operate in building a sustainable European economy.' - David Lea, Assistant General of Trades Union Congress
