This book traces the origins of the German welfare state. The
author, formerly director at the Max-Planck-Institute for European
Legal History, Frankfurt, provides a perceptive overview of the
history of social security and social welfare in Germany from early
modern times to the end of World War II, including Bismarck's
pioneering introduction of social insurance in the 1880s. The
author unravels "layers" of social security that have piled up in
the course of history and, so he argues, still linger in the
present-day welfare state. The account begins with the first
efforts by public authorities to regulate poverty and then proceeds
to the "social question" that arose during the 19th-century
Industrial Revolution. World War I had a major impact on the
development of social security, both during the war and after,
through the exigencies of the war economy, inflation and
unemployment. The ruptures as well as the continuities of social
policy under National Socialism and World War II are also
investigated.
