The Diminution Of The Poor Rate: By Improved Legislation And A More Just Distribution Of The Burden (1862) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781437289916)

The Diminution Of The Poor Rate: By Improved Legislation And A More Just Distribution Of The Burden is a book written by Standish Grove Grady in 1862. The book discusses the issue of poverty and how it is dealt with through the poor rate. Grady argues that the poor rate, which is a tax collected from property owners to support the poor, is unfairly distributed and needs to be reformed.Grady proposes a number of solutions to the problem of poverty, including improved legislation and a more just distribution of the burden. He suggests that the poor rate should be based on the ability to pay, rather than simply on property ownership, and that it should be used to support not just the poor, but also the sick, the elderly, and the disabled.The book also discusses the social and economic consequences of poverty, and the ways in which poverty can be alleviated through education, employment, and social welfare programs. Grady argues that poverty is not just a moral issue, but also an economic one, and that it is in the best interests of society as a whole to address it.Overall, The Diminution Of The Poor Rate is a thoughtful and well-researched book that offers a valuable perspective on the issue of poverty and the role of government in addressing it. It remains relevant today, as debates about poverty and social welfare continue to be major issues in many countries around the world.Being A Manual For Members Of Parliament, County Magistrates, Boards Of Guardians, And Rate Payers.
