Opis

The fight against poverty has been central to social policy from Tudor times onwards, but as this classic reissue illustrates, its application has varied with changing economic situations and philosophies.
Taking the continuing battle against poverty as his central theme, Rodgers explores the formation of social policy, analyses the interaction of policy and practice and of social need and administrative necessity. The volumes pay particular attention to such landmark events as the introduction of social insurance and the Beveridge report and foundation of the welfare state.
