Synopsis
Excerpt from Pauperizing the Rich: An Inquiry Into the Value and Significance of Unearned Wealth to Its Owners and to Society; Part I. the Diagnosis; Part II. the Remedy
The initial task attempted in the following pages is to present a new, or at least a neglected, point of View.
The current discussion of social problems is, it seems to me, seriously befogged by a mere confusion in terms. Things which are in essence the same are given different names, and the disguise so conferred seems to be for all practical purposes complete. I have therefore felt moved to apply to the considera tion of these questions the somewhat revolutionary measure of calling similar things by the same name. This constitutes my point of view.

Pauperizing the Rich (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in 1899, is a bold and revolutionary inspection of societyâs unchecked devotion to charity, providing a rarely seen critical perspective on charitable acts. The author argues that while charitable acts can demonstrate compassion, they frequently lead to an unexpected and dangerous outcome: the pauperization of those involved. He argues that providing only basic subsistence pauperizes, and that the wealthy have a responsibility to provide more substantial assistance to the poor that will foster self-sufficiency and a path out of poverty. These ideas were controversial at the time and remain challenging yet relevant today, making this a seminal work on the topics of economics and social inequality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780365634409_0
