A protecção social representa uma das maiores conquistas da revolução de Abril. Mas, no dia-a-dia, é fácil perder-se de vista o Estado-Providência, que, a cada cidadão e «do berço à campa», concede prestações e serviços e solicita impostos e contribuições sociais. O que é? Como se financia? A quem e como concede benefícios? Que problemas enfrenta? Este ensaio traça os caminhos de reforma do Estado social, desde a transição democrática até 2010, a Grande Recessão, o governo da Geringonça e ...

É com imensa alegria que lhe dou as boas-vindas a este material. Escrevo não apenas sobre números ou técnicas, mas sobre como conquistar equilíbrio, segurança e liberdade financeira. Eu sei o que é enfrentar momentos de aperto, sentir o peso das contas e a incerteza sobre o amanhã. Também sei que é possível mudar essa história – e essa certeza nasceu das minhas próprias lutas e aprendizados. Não falo de riqueza apenas no sentido material, mas dá tranquilidade de ter o controle da vida e ca...

This book presents cutting-edge methods and findings that are expected to contribute to significant advances in the areas of communication design, fashion design, interior design and product design, as well as musicology and other related areas. It especially focuses on the role of digital technologies, and on strategies fostering creativity, collaboration, education, as well as sustainability and accessibility in the broadly-intended field of design. Gathering the second volume of the pro...

It argues that the composition of the governing social bloc drives the orientation of reform, while the choice of decision‑making arena (parliamentary law-making versus tripartite social concertation) and t...
