This book offers an analysis of European capitalist welfare
societies, centering on the questions of sustainability and the
financing of social rights. Capitalism is defined as a multi-model
economy, comprising of a market economy (including production,
distribution and exchange), a state welfare economy (based on
compulsory transfers, such as taxes and social contributions), a
household economy and a voluntary economy. The resources for the
welfare economy are produced by some activities of the life course,
and used by other activities, once rights over these resources are
acquired. Setting out a new conceptual framework that integrates an
adapted version of the theory of instituted economic processes with
the changing structuration of the life course in European
countries, the book argues that European capitalist welfare
societies are not sustainable in their present form and that the
future financing of social rights is conditional on substantial
transformations. The book also analyzes relevant data on the
socio-economic positioning of women and migrants.

60 Portrats bedeutender zeitgenoessischer oesterreichischer
Wissenschafter und Forscher reflektieren die geistige
Leistungsfahigkeit des Landes. Zu Wort kommen sowohl in OEsterreich
tatige Wissenschafter als auch jene, die entweder um 1938 zur
Emigration gezwungen waren oder aber jungere Kollegen, die dem Ruf
ins Ausland folgten, um dort ihre wissenschaftliche Karriere
fortzusetzen. Die Essays schildern nicht nur Werdegang, Leistungen
und internationale Vernetzung der Portraitierten, sondern auch
Typisches und Anekdotisches aus ihrem Forschungsalltag. Das
Spektrum der Wissenschaftsgebiete reicht von der Tibetologie bis
zur Quantenphysik. Erganzt wird jedes Portrait durch eine
umfassende Biographie, Adresse und weiterfuhrende Literatur.
