The European Welfare State was born robust in 1945-1947, ten years before the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) (later CEE and EU). The European Union has settled down only in the 1980s, after several crises. When the European Union is consolidated, the Welfare State has begun to enter into crisis, although gradually, this is the central argument of this article. The EU will play a decisive role, through the European social fund and the Community directives, in replacing the Welfare State (universal policies based on progressive taxation) by Social Assistance (policies focused on the unemployed and the poor based on the transfer of workers’ income of average sectors for poor workers).

Histórias da PIDE
Quando o Salazar mandava. Volume 1
Em 1965, o General Humberto Delgado, inimigo público número 1 de Salazar, foi assassinado perto de Badajoz por uma brigada da PIDE. A chefiá‑la estava Rosa Casaco, que, fugido do país a seguir ao 25 de Abril de 1974, viria a ser condenado a oito anos de prisão e a tornar‑se, após uma entrevista incluída neste livro, um dos rostos mais emblemáticos desta força policial.
Sólido e temido bastião do Estado Novo, ninguém escapava ao raio de ação da PIDE: nem Calouste Gulbenkian, o homem mais rico do mundo, que foi preso em 1942; nem o ex‑Presidente da República Marechal Craveiro Lopes, vítima de chantagem de carácter sexual; nem sequer o bispo D. Eurico Dias Nogueira, submetido a constante vigilância, com cartas interceptadas até para o Vaticano e para o próprio Salazar.
Estas são algumas das Histórias da PIDE que José Pedro Castanheira investigou ao longo dos anos para o Expresso, todas reportando neste volume ao período de Salazar. O segundo volume incidirá sobre a época de Marcello Caetano.
