| Annotation | The welfare problem is not primarily financial but moral. The difficulty is not so much that the welfare state cannot be afforded, but that welfare programmes have tended to impair human character, because they have undermined the older ethos of "community without politics". This book examines whether there is a viable private, non-political alternative to the welfare state. It describes the ideal of private welfare which, before the advent of the welfare state, permitted the government an essential but limited role whilst responsibility lay with the individual, the family or the community. Therefore, is it possible to re-create the tradition of non-political community service? (RH). |
