Excerpt: ...of one, anti-social feelings of the most malignant character are engendered; and in the necessity which such persons consider themselves to be placed, of compensating themselves for the waste of their time and the risks of the competition, an almost wolfish rapacity to prey upon the necessities of the public is also engendered. Economy In Car Service. In the cab service it is suggested that by competition for the field instead of within the field, a service equal to the present might be obtained at foorpence per mile, and that at the present legal fare of sixpence per mile a service approaching in condition that of private carriages could be secured. In this question, it is argued, there are elements involved which might be referred to the moralist as well as to the politician; for the wasted time commonly involves sin, bad feeling, and demoralization, as well as suffering, the suffering in the cab and omnibus service extending to the lower animals which minister to our convenience. The cab horses, driven mercilessly, are returned heated to their stands, there to remain exposed for hours to cold and wet, with often variation to their suffering by being taken to the foul, confined stables of the small owners, stables which are often the centres of disease. The cab horses, in their wretched condition, are thus soon worn out. The drivers, too, suffer; their lodgings are on a piece with those of their horses, and their exposure to wet and cold, in frequent alternation, is equally injurious. Hence, economical service, if properly applied, would be found to be an aid to beneficence. There is also, continues our essayist, in an eloquent passage, another element involved in this question. There can be no doubt that good, well-ventilated, and warm...

Download or read book The Life and Times of Sir Edwin Chadwick written by S. E. Finer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1952, this is a full-scale and definitive account of the life and work of Sir Edwin Chadwick. Among the sources used are the Chadwick Papers, the Peel, Place, Russell and Gladstone Papers, the Home Office, Treasury and Ministry of Health papers and the minutes and documents of the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers. Centred on this mass of material, this book demonstrates that the great social reforms of the Victorian age should be attributed, not so much to the Cabinets, but to the labours of a handful of civil servants. It also argues that Edwin Chadwick was the most influential of these civil servants and through this illuminating biography, Professor Finer gives an account of early Victorian administration as seen from inside. This book will be of interest to those studying Victorian social reform, the history of the welfare state and social policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Collected Works of Samuel Smiles book is not really ordinary book. The benefit you get by reading this book is actually information inside this reserveincredible fresh, you will get information which is getting deeper an individual read a lot ofinformation you will get. "Heaven helps those who help themselves" is a well-tried maxim, embodying in a small compass the results of vast human experience. Samuel Smiles was a Scottish author and government reformer. His masterpiece, Self-Help, promoted thrift and claimed that poverty was caused largely by irresponsible habits, while also attacking materialism and laissez-faire government. But he concluded that more progress would come from new attitudes than from new laws. Self-Help has been called "the bible of mid-Victorian liberalism", and it raised Smiles to celebrity status almost overnight.

Download or read book The Economics of Edwin Chadwick written by Robert B. Ekelund and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Economists owe a great debt to Ekelund and Price for making us aware of Edwin Chadwick's seminal contributions. Chadwick lived in the middle of the 19th century, but he anticipated many of the theoretical and practical advances that culminated in the law and economics revolution of the late 20th century. These include Coase's analysis of social cost and Demsetz's proposal for franchise bidding in natural monopolies. Read the summary of Chadwick's ideas about railroads and consider that Britain adopted many of them but only more than a century later (while the US continues to wallow in ignorance). The book is full of similar examples where Chadwick's prescience is extraordinary. Economists, legal scholars and practitioners, especially those working at the intersection of law and economics, will want to read this book.' – Sam Peltzman, University of Chicago, US Sir Edwin Chadwick (1800–1890) is hardly a household name among economists, although he is a well-known hero to sanitation engineers and utilitarian social reformers. His brilliant and cunning ideas relating to contemporary economic policy are illuminated for the first time in this pioneering study. The authors detail Chadwick's sophisticated conceptions of moral hazard, common pool problems, asymmetric information, and theory of competition, all of which differ starkly from those promulgated by Adam Smith and other classical economists. Also examined are Chadwick's views on government versus market role in dealing with problems created by natural monopoly, and whether some or all market problems justify government regulation or alterations of property rights. The authors investigate Chadwick's utilitarian approach to labor, business cycles, and economic growth, contrasting his modern view with those of his classical economic contemporaries. Chadwick's enormous output and cutting-edge methods undoubtedly establish him as an original and trenchant thinker in economic matters as well as a prophetic voice on contemporary issues in economics. This unique look at his less familiar research will interest academic regulatory economists, sociologists, students and scholars of law and economics, and all those interested in the fundamentals of social reform.

Download or read book Edwin Chadwick written by Edwin Chadwick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1997 with total page 2473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edwin Chadwick (1800-1890) is most famous for his contributions to the public health movement of the nineteenth century where his 1842 Report on the Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population highlighted the unsanitary conditions that prevailed in the industrial towns and cities of Victorian Britain. While particular cities are mentioned in his work, such as London, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool, his work had an effect on Britain as a whole as it changed government policy on a national level. Other facets of social welfare in which he was actively involved included the Poor Law, police, education and the evolving responsibilites of central and local government. This collection includes a reprint of Finer's biography, The Life and Times of Sir Edwin Chadwick, Chadwick's 1842 Sanitary Report and many of his rarer pamphlets and addresses to learned societies. Each of the volumes also contains a specially prepared Introduction.
