| Summary: | In a recent new edition of one of his works, Michel Messu returns to the research he undertook during the 1980s on individuals receiving state aids in order to extend his analysis by an original reflection on the evolution of social protection in 21st century France. His idea can be summarized as follows: social protection would appear from now on as a social insurance for state aid, guaranteeing for each citizen a protection received either as a form of social insurance or as a state aid, often as a combination of the two. This argument allows one to underline the sliding between registers, or even between regimes, of a social protection system becoming more and more that of an intervention exercised on those who receive it. However, for the author, this argument does not go further than the surface of the phenomenon. Using his own analyses, and with the aim of alimenting the debate, he proposes a rather different vision of social protection.
