Description

This scholarly study examines the pivotal role of non-state organizations, particularly friendly societies and insurance bodies, in shaping welfare services for the elderly and sick across Europe and North America. Drawn from two decades of historical research, the book explores how these mutual aid organisations developed social insurance systems before modern government programmes became dominant. The work traces the evolution of welfare provision through insurance mechanisms, offering insights into how communities historically protected vulnerable populations through cooperative self-help arrangements. Essential reading for historians, economists, and policy researchers interested in understanding the roots of contemporary social safety nets and the contribution of voluntary organisations to welfare development.
