This idea is not new. Since the nineteenth century, every generation of reformers has declared that handouts are harmful, Franklin Roosevelt called them " a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit," and that aid must demand something of recipients. Why, then, no matter how often welfare is reinvented, do we keep getting the system nobody wants? This book analyzes the roots of this recurring failure.Visit my eCRATER Store for other great books and save on shipping!
