Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on improving the English workhouse system, a crucial aspect of the welfare state established in the 1830s. The author examines the history of poor law and relief, observing that the effects of each kind of relief, whether indoor, outdoor, or casual, are detrimental to the recipients and promote an ever-widening scope of the problem. The author concludes that the basal thought of the entire system, that self-help is better than receiving handouts, is flawed. The book provides an alternative path - a new social contract that provides thorough reform of the workhouse system. This book not only provides a well-researched history and critique of the English workhouse system, but also outlines a vision for an alternative that is an indispensable read for anyone interested in the history of welfare, social history, and public policy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
