In this book, the historical dynamics of social policy, common welfare economics and the politics of social services of general interest, justified by personalist ethics, are understood as endogenous, dialectical mechanisms of the polarity between the principles of Apollonian order and Dionysian transgression; as a logical form of the philosophy of history on the ontological pathway to the concrete utopia of the truth of socially caring communities comprised of free people living according to their belief in reciprocal responsibility; and as a system of solidarity based on love.

Services of general interest form an essential element of the European model of society as a way to increase quality of life and to overcome social exclusion and isolation. They are also at the core of the public debate touching the central question of the role public authorities and the institutions of the European Union play in a market economy. The competencies and responsibilities conferred by the Treaty, the EU regulations and directives lay emphasis on the essential role and the wide discretion of national, regional and local authorities in defining, organizing, financing and monitoring services of general interest. The same time the EU Law provide the European Commission with a wide range of means of action to ensure the compliance of the process of organizing and financing such services according to a comprehensive regulatory regime at Community level to make them compatible with the internal market and to prevent a distortion of the competition rules. The paper indicates divergences of the points of view of public authorities and the Commission on their role, shared responsibility and powers in that process.

Common Misunderstanding

This chapter proposes three theoretical reflections on three themes of relevant importance for framing and understanding an economy based on principles of exchange, collaboration, and division. In fact, this seems to disagree with the prevailing orientation of the Western capitalist economy, based on concepts of competition, individualism, asset protection, and hypercompetitiveness. The first reflection, therefore, concerns the relationship between crowdworkers and the capitalist system. The second reflection concerns the type of organization that is typical of crowdworkers, based on the concept of community. The third reflection concerns the classification of all those services mutually provided by the members of the shared work spaces and how such services can be effectively classified as non-economic services of general interest, resolving a common misunderstanding regarding the lawfulness of professional exchanges not regulated by monetary transactions.
