Opis

This book offers a searching intellectual analysis of social welfare over the last two centuries of dramatic change and development. The late Geoffrey Finlayson explores the changing relations between voluntarism and the state, unravelling the complex interactions of government, commerce, and individuals. Additionally, he examines the concept of citizenship, tracing developing notions of the duties and obligations implicit in the idea of the citizen, as well as the rights and entitlements.

Recenzje

What a complex tapestry of benevolence and social engineering is portrayed here. This is a welcome work of synthesis, and the foot-notes and bibliography suggest how much research went into its creation ... we must be grateful not only to the late Geoffrey Finlayson but also to the members of his family who saw this work to completion.
