A hundred years ago, most working-class households avoided or coped with poverty without recourse to the state. The Poor Law after 1834 offered little more than a 'safety net' for the poorest, and much welfare was organised through charitable societies, self-help institutions and mutual-aid networks. Rather than look for the origins of modern provision, the author casts a searching light on the practices, ideology and outcomes of nineteenth-century welfare. This original and stimulating study, based upon a wealth of scholarship, is essential reading for all students of poverty and welfare. It also contains much to interest a wider readership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Kidd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0333632540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780333632543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Globe Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.49d","brand":"Alan Kidd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48135981138175,"sku":"9780333632543","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e4a1067-d2a8-4ac1-b530-e952057b26e3.jpg?v=1770159719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/state-society-and-the-poor-alan-kidd-9780333632543","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
