Abstract
Results on the superconductor to insulator transition in two-dimensional fi lms are analyzed in terms of a coupling of the system to a dissipative bath . Upon lowering the temperature the parameter that controls this coupling b ecomes relevant and a wide range of metallic phase is recovered.
