Sommario/riassunto

First published in 1983, this important and stimulating book is a thoughtful contribution to the debate about the first steps that needed



to be taken to build a socialist society in the 1980s. It covers topics as diverse as concepts of equality and fairness, sexual discrimination, economic policy, health and urban policy, pensions, poverty and the economics of the welfare state, defence and internationalism.
