The Moral Economy: Financing Europe’s Welfare State
Europe’s public finances are increasingly under strain from demographic ageing, inequality, and structural economic transformation. The session discusses the future of the welfare state in an era of growing scarcity and systemic change. It focuses on fiscal sustainability, the distribution of financial burdens between the state, markets, and individuals, and the conditions needed to maintain social cohesion in a period of rapid transformation.
