"The Rights Of Industry. On The Best Form of Relief to the Able-bodied Poor" examines 19th-century approaches to poverty and unemployment. George Poulett Scrope explores the societal obligations towards the working class, advocating for policies that promote self-sufficiency and economic independence. This work delves into the debates surrounding poor laws, workhouses, and alternative methods of providing relief that respect the dignity and rights of the individual. Scrope offers a critical analysis of existing systems and proposes reforms aimed at fostering a more just and effective social safety net. This book provides valuable insights into the historical context of welfare economics and the ongoing challenges of addressing poverty.
