The Old Poor-Law And The New Socialism: Or Pauperism And Taxation (1885)

The Old Poor-Law And The New Socialism: Or Pauperism And Taxation is a book written by Francis Charles Montague in 1885. The book explores the history of the old poor-law system and its failures, as well as the emergence of socialism as a potential solution to poverty and inequality. Montague examines the economic and social factors that led to the development of both the old poor-law and socialism, and offers a critical analysis of the two systems. He argues that the old poor-law was ineffective in addressing poverty and that socialism offers a more promising approach to addressing social and economic inequality. The book also discusses the role of taxation in addressing poverty and inequality, and provides a detailed analysis of the economic and social impact of different tax policies. Overall, The Old Poor-Law And The New Socialism is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the history of poverty and inequality in England, and the potential solutions offered by socialism and taxation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
