Abstract: Abstract The dominant role of markets, competition and private profit as the regulating mechanisms of economic and social reproduction has during the last years been challenged for theoretical reasons and on the basis of empirical evidence. This raises the question of alternative frameworks and tools for a more democratic and sustainable development. In this chapter, we present and discuss the public sector as a strong and indispensable pillar for a progressive European Social Model (ESM). Its role should be revitalised on the local, regional and national level, and it should be established on the European level.
