Sommario/riassunto

While the welfare states of rich democracies are widely discussed, at the same time they appear to be doing well. Some take it that in the decades to come they will go on doing so, adapting to new challenges, while others hold that things will shortly change in dramatic ways. The two contributions in this book reflect these different positions.
