This account of poor relief, charity, and social welfare in Germany
from the Reformation through World War I integrates historical
narrative and theoretical analysis of such issues as social
discipline, governmentality, gender, religion, and state-formation.
It analyses the changing cultural frameworks through which the poor
came to be considered as needy; the institutions, strategies, and
practices devised to assist, integrate, and discipline these
populations; and the political alchemy through which the needs of
the individual were reconciled with those of the community. While
the Bismarckian social insurance programs have long been regarded
as the origin of the German welfare state, this book shows how
preventive social welfare programs - the second pillar of the
welfare state - evolved out of traditional poor relief, and it
emphasises the role of progressive reformers and local, voluntary
initiative in this process and the impact of competing reform
discourses on both the social domain and the public sphere.
