Synopsis
This treatise on human rights contends that an "enterprise culture" of the kind which is in fashion in England clearly promotes material prosperity and efficiency, but for a society to be enduringly strong it must also have the ability to care properly for its citizens. The authors of these essays argue that one of the primary duties of a government is to ensure that all citizens can enjoy their human rights and fundamental freedoms, and that the ultimate measure of a "civilized" society is how it treats its poor, needy and disabled.
