Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Destruction of Poverty James G. Blaine repeatedly declared in public speeches, particularly during his Presidential campaign, that: "This country will support many more millions than it at present contains," and "It is conceded that this country produces more than any other." A citizen who was not carried away by the glittering generalities of campaign speeches propounded Mr. Blaine, in a private letter, the following queries: "First. - If it be true that this country will support many more millions than it now contains, why does it not support the people it already contains?" "Second. - If this country produces more than any other, why should we fear competition?" The questions were ignored, and they never have been answered by any candidate for a high or low political office. To every American citizen able to penetrate the selfish motives and personal schemes behind the catch-vote delusions of party platforms, these questions merit a full answer, and they are answered in this book. There is no reason why poverty should exist in the United States, for the causes which create and perpetuate it in other countries do not obtain here, indeed it is not an element in our American civilization, because our system of government tends to prevent it. But poverty does exist here, the same as under a personal form of government, and the cry of the rich growing richer, and the poor, poorer, will not down. It is a fact, and the question is, why is it a patent fact? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Abolition of Poverty The purpose of this little essay is to set forth the Heedlessness of poverty. Like preventable disease, economic want persists as a social ill only because men do not desire sufficiently that it shall cease. There is still much mumbling of old commonplaces, and it has seemed worth while to emphasize anew this definite corollary of modern political economy, that the essential causes of poverty are determinable and its considerable presence unnecessary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poverty The existence Of this book, one Of a series Of elemen tary introductions to Sociology, is a happy sign of the times. Students 'of social science are everywhere multiplying, and there is a great call for guidance from many who, filled with a holy discontent with the numerous manifestations of poverty, seek to equip themselves with understanding Of, and power to battle with, the evils they deplore. It is for such that Mr. Reason has written the following pages, and the student will find in them not merely a careful presentation Of essential facts, but a stimulating and suggestive essay, which, while necessarily dealing chiefly with material things, never loses sight of the fact that man does not live by bread alone, and that, in the words Of one Of Ruskin's noblest contributions to the Larger Bible: The final outcome and consummation Of all wealth is in the producing as many tas possible full-breathed, bright-eyed and happy-hearted human creatures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Causes of Poverty To anyone, anxious to know at once the aim of this work, it might be explained in a single sentence. It might be described as an effort to evolve a mental picture of the world we live in, to behold before us a working model of this earth and all its belongings, and to realize, from an examination of that model, the causes responsible for human poverty. That the mind can conceive this picture, may be proved by reflection on the workings of our imaginative powers. Let us close our eyes after carefully noting surrounding objects, and we may at once form mental images of the things just seen - of the books, furniture, apartments, buildings, landscapes, or whatever else may have been within range of the eye. Let us open an ordinance map of the district we live in, and we can imagine before us the highways, buildings, inhabitants, occupations, prosperity, and other attributes that we are daily accustomed to observe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progress and Poverty, Vol. 1: An Inquiry Into the Cause of Industrial Depressions and of Increase of Want With Increase of Wealth; The Remedy The views herein set forth were in the main briefly stated in a pamphlet entitled Our Land and Land Policy, published in San Francisco in 1871. I then intended, as soon as I could, to present them more fully, but the opportunity did not for a long time occur. In the meanwhile I became even more firmly convinced of their truth, and saw more completely and clearly their relations; and I also saw how many false ideas and erroneous habits of thought stood in the way of their recognition, and how necessary it was to go over the whole ground. This I have here tried to do, as thoroughly as space would permit. It has been necessary for me to clear away before I could build up, and to write at once for those who have made no previous study of such subjects, and for those who are familiar with economic reason ings; and, so great is the scope of the argument that it has been impossible to treat with the fullness they deserve many of the ques tions raised. What I have most endeavored to do is to establish general principles, trusting to my readers to carry further their applications where this is needed. In certain respects this book will be best appreciated by those who have some knowledge of economic literature; but no previous read ing is necessary to the understanding of the argument or the passing of judgment upon its conclusions. The facts upon which I have relied are not facts which can be verified only by a search through libraries. They are facts of common observation and common knowledge, which every reader can verify for himself, just as he can decide whether the reasoning from them is or is not valid.

It is notorious that in occupations where working hours are long, wages are not higher than where working hours are shorter; generally the reverse, for the longer the working day, the more helpless does the laborer become - the less time has he to look around him and develop other powers than those called forth by his work; the less becomes his ability to change his occupation or to take advantage of circum stances. And, so, the individual workman who gets his wife and children to assist him may thus increase his ih come; but in occupations where it has become habitual for the wife and children of the laborer to supplement his work, it is notorious that the wages earned by the whole family do not on the average exceed those of the head of the family in occupations where it is usual for him only to work. Swiss family labor in watch making competes in cheapness with American machinery. The Bohemian cigar makers of New York, who work, men, women, and children, in their tenement-house rooms, have reduced the prices of cigar making to less than the Chinese in San Francisco were getting.

Download or read book Make Poverty Personal mersion Emergent Village resources for communities of faith written by Ash Barker and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty is one of the great challenges of the 21st century. But poverty is not new. And neither is God's deep concern for the poor--it is a theme deeply woven throughout the Bible. Yet sadly, churches and individual Christians have too often been blind to this emphasis, or they have been paralyzed into inaction by feelings of helplessness. In this urgent, provocative book, Ash Barker offers both challenge and hope. Pulling out and reflecting on significant passages from both testaments, he reveals what the Bible says about both the nature of poverty and about how God calls his people to respond. These studies, ideal for either individual or small group use, are interlaced with personal reflections--first-hand accounts from fifteen years of ministry among the poor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progress and Poverty And so, many who have been most anxious for the enrich ment of the poor, if necessary even at the expense of therich, are compelled by sheer common sense to own themselves and' all philanthropy and statecraft helpless. Their helplessness has been enormously self-compensating. Their conviction of the impotence of the State, or, of money'to lift out of their poverty the recurring generations of the very poor has filled them with more pitying inventive many-sided personal zeal. The characterist1c of those who have been most prominent and energetic and self-sacrificing of late in attempts to cope with the masses of poverty has been a certain hardness. Hardness has become the religion of philanthropists, and every. Religion has its phrases which degenerate into cant on the lips of some of its devotees. No pauperising. Has become a second N o Popery, shriek. Is there a market for you has been the successor of Are you saved? Yet no one who knows them for a moment doubts that there has been a nobility and heroism and tenderness and stem martyr-like self-repression about many who have seemed hard as flint in their dealings with the poor. They have been merciless as the gentlest warrior may be merciless in some dreadful critical battle, upon whigh hangs the fate of unseen homes and unborn babes. And the very voices that have cried alike to kid gloved alms givers, whose ready hands were in their well filled pockets.

This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Defense of the Poor, or Poverty and Its Resulting Evils Technically speaking, the-poor need no defense; for, innately they, of' all grades of our social fabric, are the most honest-hearted, the most sympathetic, the most pure of purpose and the least troublesome of all. We find much in them, therefore. To commend; also, some things to condemn. As a rule, that which we find in them to criticise and condemn as a class, is put there by necessity and not by choice. The purpose of this little book is not to exculpate or excuse any existing social disorder on the score of poverty; but, to show by careful reasoning from cause to effect, on the conditions that confront us, that many of the evils which harass and distract our social sys tem and our political life are due, in great part, to a lack of the necessities, comforts and Opportunities of life, thus pointing the way to an improved and a health ier public condition.
