Synopsis

Excerpt from Insurance Versus Poverty

The plan of the work is as follows: It is divided into two distinct books, and each of these books is again divided into three sections. The first book deals with Health Insurance. Its first part consists of argumentative and possibly challengeable matter, written by one who is an ardent advocate of compulsory State Insurance against social and industrial vicissitudes. It puts the case for compulsion, shows the necessity for extension of the principle beyond the borders of the National Insurance Act of 1911, and takes Opportunity to refer to foreign experience. Part II. Is a descriptive and critical account of the National Health Insurance Law of 1911, which is complete in itself. Part III. Is the Health Section, or first part, of the National Insurance Act, 1911, printed verbatim, with explanatory notes designed to assist the reading and understanding of what is necessarily a complicated Act of Parliament.

Book II. Deals in similar fashion with Unemployment Insurance. In Part I. An attempt is made to sketch the problem of unemployment in its broad outlines in order to exhibit the nature of the problem, and the necessity for the regular payment of labour, to which end the author regards Unemployment Insurance as a first step. Part II. Is an exposition of the Unemployment Section of the Act of 1911. Part III. Is the Unemployment Section, or second part of the Act, printed verbatim, with explanatory notes as in the case of the Health Insurance.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from Insurance Versus Poverty To those interested in the economic and social questions of the day Mr. Chiozza Money needs no introduction from me, and they will welcome the fact that he has devoted to the National Insurance Act his well-known powers of popular exposition of complicated subjects. The task that he has set himself and carried out so admirably in the following pages is one of very great importance. Nothing is more vital at the present time to the success of the Act than that it should be widely and thoroughly understood. Whether it be due to misconception or to misrepresentation or to the inherent difficulties of the subject, there is no doubt that a tangle of false conceptions has grown up about the National Insurance Scheme. If the tree that has been planted is to grow strong and bear good fruit this tangle must be cleared away. To one who plies the axe as vigorously and thoroughly as does Mr. Chiozza Money in this book is due the gratitude of all who have the success of the scheme at heart - all, that is, to whom the difficulties and suffering that millions of the workers of this country have to face are not a matter of indifference. Mr. Chiozza Money does not confine himself to a bare exposition of the scheme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
