Abstract
The author, introducing the essays of Il Tema, sketches briefly one of the most recent trends in social security: the cut of benefits by Governments and Parliaments under the pressure of the financial crisis as interpreted and contrasted by the s.c. troika (Imf, Ecb, Eu Commission), and frames this trend in a more general uncertainty, which afflicts the European citizens as regards their social rights.
