In this book, the institution of social security is analyzed as an institution founded on the principle of social solidarity. The institutional characteristics, the mechanisms of protection and funding, and the collective imagination are inextricably linked to the theory of solidarity.
The approach to social security in light of the principle of solidarity highlights the close relationship between them and the –still unfulfilled– possibilities for deepening the solidarity function of the institution. Through continuous "reforms," the crisis of social security is interpreted as a retreat of the principle of solidarity and an increase in risk, individual responsibility, and competition.
This perspective aims to contribute to the renewal and enrichment of the discussion regarding the present and future of the institution, which faces the dual challenge of providing dignified protection for the insured and adapting to cover an increasing precariat.
