Synopsis

Asserting that social programs are unable to halt or even limit the problems of poverty, unemployment, and lack of health care they are designed to address, Macarov (social work, Hebrew U., Jerusalem) returns to basic concepts. He delves into why societies engage in social welfare activities, finding the roots in mutual aid, religion, politics, economics, and ideology. He also examines the impact of such thinkers as Martin Luther, Adam Smith, and Charles Darwin. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
