In his Ph.D. dissertation (“Underwriting Autarchy: Commercial Life Insurance for the Masses in Interwar Italy and Germany”) he examines the promotion of mass life insurance policies under the Fascist and Nazi dictatorships as an ideologically palatable alternative to social insurance for the savings economies and mixed welfare systems of both regimes.
