This study analyses poor relief in pre-industrial Europe from 1800
to 1850, as a survival strategy of the poor and as a control
strategy of the elites. It deals with poverty and the problems of
the poor, but also with wealth and the concerns of the elites and
of the middle classes. A simple model of poor relief is presented,
based on insights derived from history, sociology and welfare
economics. It is tested against the historical records of Amsterdam
from 1800 to 1850. The study brings out some of the perennial
problems of social policy, past and present, as well as some
aspects of Old Regime charity, now vanished.
