Abstract
In the past five decades, Europeans have transformed high taxes into a protection net, which continues from the cradle to the grave. Europe that protects is the motto of European Union. Nevertheless, the Welfare State has been a subject of criticism in Europe since the 1980s. The current situation of intense crises opens the existing model of Welfare State opening to questioning, under different viewpoints, raising doubts as to the current opportunity and viability of this State model. The objective of this paper is to promote discussion on the limits and the near future of the Welfare State in the face of the international financial crisis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
