Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical development of poor laws in England and argues that existing provisions for the poor, while intended to be benevolent, create a dangerous social landscape that undermines individual responsibility, promotes idleness, and corrupts the structure and economy of society. The author says the poor laws do not create lasting benefits by ensuring cooperation from the bulk of the nation in the preservation of order but instead have the opposite effect, making the mass of the nation dependent on government assistance. The author takes a deep dive into historical and contemporary accounts, including evidence and testimony from the House of Lords, to illustrate his points, offering many examples to support his claims. This book is important for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of welfare and its impact on society.
