This is the first book to examine the views of a number of
theorists from ancient times to the 19th century on a range of
welfare issues: wealth, poverty and inequality; slavery, gender
issues, and the family; child rearing and education; crime and
punishment; the role of government in society; and, the strengths
and weaknesses of government provision vis a vis market provision.
The book also looks at the values of the various theorists as well
as their perception of human nature for these tend to underpin
their welfare views. The book will make essential reading for
students of social policy, gender issues, community care, social
work, and sociology.
