Book Overview

The Poor Man's Controversy is a book written by John Mannock in 1769. It is a treatise on the social and economic conditions of the poor in England during the 18th century. The book argues that the poor are not responsible for their poverty, but rather it is a result of the unjust economic system that favors the wealthy. Mannock argues that the rich have a moral obligation to help the poor, and that the government should take steps to alleviate poverty through social welfare programs. The book also discusses the role of religion in promoting social justice and the need for a more equal distribution of wealth. Overall, The Poor Man's Controversy is a passionate plea for social justice and an end to the suffering of the poor in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
