Years the Pavement Swallowed Whole

Beschreibung

The civil servant’s pension was a promise. Then it became a debt. Then it became nothing.
Between 1945 and 1975, Western Europe built the most expansive social contracts in history. By 1990, those contracts were broken. Those Who Fell Between the Walls examines how the institutions designed to protect the middle class—pensions, housing subsidies, public healthcare, and education systems—became the instruments of its slow dissolution.
