This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ...take all the work he can get and still work very irregularly; but there are others who are either constitutionally lazy or with whom the habit has become engrained, who do not care to work more than three or four days a week. Nor would more money come to the home if they earned it. If such men make more they drink more. Laziness of this type is an important cause of poverty, and hence of pauperism sooner or later, though it would hardly appear on our lists. Some of those who ask aid from lack of work belong to this category. if it were not for drink, sickness and old age could be better met. Drink must therefore be accounted the most prolific of all the causes; and it is the least necessary. It is hardly too much to say that it is principally a matter of fashion. Amongst the upper classes the fashion of drinking has passed or is passing away. Amongst the middle classes it is accepted rather as a social necessity than as a desirable personal indulgence. Men meet and adjourn for a drink, to which one must treat the other, but which both would as soon, or perhaps rather, be without. Drinking to excess is no pleasure to any one. Amongst the poor, men drink on and on from a perverted pride. The whole thing is so baseless that it is conceivable it might very rapidly come to an end. The cure lies, I think, not so much in a total abstinence propaganda---though that is indirectly useful--as in the raising of the whole standard of life. Laziness Unwillingness to work is closely connected with self-indulgence in other ways, and there is no known cure except the pressure of "neither shall he eat." Men who never work when it can be avoided, if without property, usually drift into pauperism unless they have relations to sponge upon, or a wife...

Download or read book The Winding Road to the Welfare State written by George R. Boyer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Britain transform itself from a nation of workhouses to one that became a model for the modern welfare state? The Winding Road to the Welfare State investigates the evolution of living standards and welfare policies in Britain from the 1830s to 1950 and provides insights into how British working-class households coped with economic insecurity. George Boyer examines the retrenchment in Victorian poor relief, the Liberal Welfare Reforms, and the beginnings of the postwar welfare state, and he describes how workers altered spending and saving methods based on changing government policies. From the cutting back of the Poor Law after 1834 to Parliament’s abrupt about-face in 1906 with the adoption of the Liberal Welfare Reforms, Boyer offers new explanations for oscillations in Britain’s social policies and how these shaped worker well-being. The Poor Law’s increasing stinginess led skilled manual workers to adopt self-help strategies, but this was not a feasible option for low-skilled workers, many of whom continued to rely on the Poor Law into old age. In contrast, the Liberal Welfare Reforms were a major watershed, marking the end of seven decades of declining support for the needy. Concluding with the Beveridge Report and Labour’s social policies in the late 1940s, Boyer shows how the Liberal Welfare Reforms laid the foundations for a national social safety net. A sweeping look at economic pressures after the Industrial Revolution, The Winding Road to the Welfare State illustrates how British welfare policy waxed and waned over the course of a century.

Download or read book A New Companion to Victorian Literature and Culture written by Herbert F. Tucker and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW COMPANION TO VICTORIAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE The Victorian period was a time of rapid cultural change, which resulted in a huge and varied literary output. A New Companion to Victorian Literature and Culture offers experienced guidance to the literature of nineteenth-century Britain and its social and historical context. This revised and expanded edition comprises contributions from over 30 leading scholars who, approaching the Victorian epoch from different positions and traditions, delve into the unruly complexities of the Victorian imagination. Divided into five parts, this new Companion surveys seven decades of history before examining the key phases in a Victorian life, the leading professions and walks of life, the major literary genres, the way Victorians defined their persons, homes, and national identity, and how recent “neo-Victorian” developments in contemporary culture reconfigure the sense we make of the past today. Important topics such as sexuality, denominational faith, social class, and global empire inform each chapter’s approach. Each chapter provides a comprehensive bibliography of established and emerging scholarship.
