Insurance Versus Poverty Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Insurance Versus Poverty To those interested in the economic and social questions of the day Mr. Chiozza Money needs no introduction from me, and they will welcome the fact that he has devoted to the National Insurance Act his well-known powers of popular exposition of complicated subjects. The task that he has set himself and carried out so admirably in the following pages is one of very great importance. Nothing is more vital at the present time to the success of the Act than that it should be widely and thoroughly understood. Whether it be due to misconception or to misrepresentation or to the inherent difficulties of the subject, there is no doubt that a tangle of false conceptions has grown up about the National Insurance Scheme. If the tree that has been planted is to grow strong and bear good fruit this tangle must be cleared away. To one who plies the axe as vigorously and thoroughly as does Mr. Chiozza Money in this book is due the gratitude of all who have the success of the scheme at heart - all, that is, to whom the difficulties and suffering that millions of the workers of this country have to face are not a matter of indifference. Mr. Chiozza Money does not confine himself to a bare exposition of the scheme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Poverty and Dependency: Their Relief and Prevention In treating the subject it has seemed best to attempt to measure the extent and cost of poverty and dependency. Of course no adequate measure of their blight upon ambition, independence of spirit, hope of success, etc., is possible.

This we have tried to do in Part I, and even these figures are startling enough. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
