Description

Explore the historical development of welfare through Routledge's The Origins of British Social Policy. Originally published in 1978, this volume from the Routledge Library Editions: Welfare and the State series offers a deep look into the evolution of state responsibilities. Instead of following conventional approaches, this text examines the complex influences that shape social policy. It looks at how political needs, such as maintaining social order and increasing economic and military efficiency, impact how a state manages its citizens. The book also analyzes the role of the family as a central social institution within these policy frameworks. Readers will gain an understanding of the transition from the nineteenth-century Poor Law attitudes to the modern welfare state. This work is an essential resource for students and researchers studying the sociology and history of social welfare systems.
