Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an overview of the history, evolution, and current state of public charity and reform administration in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The author provides context and thoughtful discussion on the evolution of Massachusetts' public charitable institutions from their inception to today's more progressive and sophisticated systems. From the first public hospital to the newest state-run programs, the author provides a comprehensive history of this social support system. The book details the way in which institutions have been founded, transformed, and in some cases replaced to provide a more comprehensive, efficient, and humane treatment of Massachusetts' most vulnerable populations. The author discusses philosophical, ethical, and practical considerations for administering these institutions, and shares some of the numerous challenges and changes to the Massachusetts public charity system that the author encountered during their research. Looking ahead, the author concludes that a deep understanding of the history of Massachusetts' charity system can offer invaluable context to ongoing efforts to reform and improve social assistance in the present day.
