✦ Synopsis

The plenary talk was given by the author.

A qualitative survey of the theory of high-temperature superconductors as strongly correlated electron systems is presented.

Various microscopic models and their implications for the theory of the normal state are described. Constraints on the mechanism and many-body theory of the superconducting state are discussed.
