WHAT SOCIETY?
Welfare and the Politics of Interdependence:
A conference at the interface of psychoanalysis and politics

Friday 9 June 2000

Modern states tolerate greater social inequalities than a few decades

social, psychological and political conditions which promote
interdependence, as opposed to indifference?
