Paternalism and Politics: The Revival of Paternalism in Early Nineteenth-Century Britain

K. Lawes, "Paternalism and Politics: The Revival of Paternalism in Early Nineteenth-Century Britain"
English | 2000 | pages: 240 | ISBN: 0312231164 | PDF | 1,0 mb

This book is about continuity and change in early nineteenth-century Britain. Against the background of an emerging industrial state, the popularization of liberal laissez-faire principles, and the rise of a class-based society, it examines the revival of traditional paternal ideals and considers their influence upon the development of social policy. Poor laws, social distress, child labor, and factory reform provide a focus for the analysis. The implications of the revival for the emergence of the collective or welfare state is an important theme.
