The Limits of Affluence: Welfare in Ontario, 1920-1970

By James Struthers

The first history of welfare in Canada's richest province offers a new perspective on our contemporary response to poverty. Struthers examines the evolution of provincial and local programs for single mothers, the aged, and the unemployed between 1920 and 1970, when the modern welfare state first took shape.
