About this title

Synopsis

A bold plan to ease poverty by rethinking how society treats the laboring class.

This work lays out practical regulations for the poor and a broad program aimed at reducing and removing the evils that press on workers. With careful analysis of population, employment, and welfare, it offers a framework for policy and social reform.

The text surveys the causes of hardship, weighs the effectiveness of poor laws, and proposes a pathway that blends prudence, incentives, and public action. It treats questions of emigration, labor organization, and the right way to support the needy, all while outlining steps to strengthen character, education, and self-reliance.
What you’ll find inside

Ideal for readers curious about 19th-century social reform ideas, public policy debates, and the early modern attempts to balance charity with work and thrift.
