From Insurance State to Welfare State, and Back Again?

The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance - Issues and Practice, 1995, vol. 20, issue 4, 439-445

Abstract: In the Middle ages social security was largely a matter for the guilds. When the guilds were abolished, insurance companies partly assumed this responsibility. Later, the Government demanded that it should take over. Now, the key question is how responsibilities can be divided between the public and the private sector. Lessons from history.
