With welfare reform a burning political issue, this special
anniversary edition of the classic history of welfare in America
has been revised and updated to include the latest bipartisan
debates on how to end welfare as we know it." In the Shadow of the
Poorhouse examines the origins of social welfare, both public and
private, from the days of the colonial poorhouse through the
current tragedy of the homeless. The book explains why such a
highly criticized system persists. Katz explores the relationship
between welfare and municipal reform the role of welfare
capitalism, eugenics, and social insurance in the reorganization of
the labour market the critical connection between poverty and
politics in the rise of the New Deal welfare state and how the War
on Poverty of the '60s became the war on welfare of the '80s.
