Abstract
Issues related to the welfare state and, more particularly, pension schemes, have received increasing attention in recent years from politicians and public opinion alike. This has stimulated the interest of economists, who often still apply a predominantly financial approach when analysing problems. Only some of the analytical and interpretative tools made available by political economy have therefore been used, and tools particularly suited to a description of the complex socio-economic context within which social insurance operates have been excluded from the analysis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
