This is a detailed and scholarly study of social policy in Weimar
Germany. The Weimar Republic gave German youth new social rights
and a pledge of generous educational and welfare provision. Public
social and welfare policies would, it was hoped, banish the spectre
of delinquent and rebellious youth, and ensure that the future
citizens, workers, and mothers of Germany's new democracy would be
well-adjusted, efficient, and healthy. But how far could the
would-be architects of modern technocratic welfare realize their
vision in the midst of the economic and political instability of
the Great Depression? How did young people respond to policies
supposedly in their best interests, but which contained an
unmistakable dimension of supervision and control? Elizabeth Harvey
examines a wide range of policies implemented by central and local
government, including vocational training, labour market policies,
reformatory schooling, and the juvenile justice system. Her lucid
and scholarly analysis provides new insights into the troubled
development of the Weimar welfare state and the crisis into which
it was plunged by the Depression. Her book also adds important
evidence to the debate over continuities in social policy between
Weimar Germany and the Third Reich.
