Un Welfare State per le classi medie: Democristiani e Socialisti in Francia e Italia, 1945-1958
In the history of welfare state, the publication of the Beveridge Report in 1942 represents one of the biggest
steps toward the creation of a complete social security system for all the citizens of a state. Influenced by
ideas and purposes of such report, political parties in France and Italy tried to imagine a more efficient and
inclusive welfare system for their own countries, with the aim of extending the benefits of social legislation
to middle class – especially non-salaried middle class workers (peasants, craftsmen, shop owners). For both
Socialist and Christian-Democratic parties, the middle class was problematic for two main reasons. Firstly,
from an ideological point of view, it proved the fallacies of Marxist theory about social evolution towards
two major classes – proletariat and bourgeoisie; at the same times it highlighted the need of a more precise
definition of the ideology of “inter-classism” professed by Christian-Democratic parties. Secondly, the vote
of non-salaried middle class workers was of fundamental importance for parties engaged in the election
game. The aim of this research is to analyse the way by which French and Italian Christian-Democratic and
Socialist parties tried to adapt their ideology and politics to the needs and requests of non-salaried middle
class. In this process, the extension of welfare state benefits was seen as a major element for the social and
political integration of this group of citizens. To this end, the research takes into account the position
regarding the issues of welfare state and middle class adopted by four parties – Mouvement Républicain
Populaire (MRP), Democrazia Cristiana (DC), Section Française de l’Internationale Ouvrière (SFIO), Partito
Socialista Italiano (PSI) – in their congresses, in the party press, and finally in the bills and in Parliamentary
debates.In the history of welfare state, the publication of the Beveridge Report in 1942 represents one of the biggest
