Excerpt from Insurance Versus Poverty

The plan of the work is as follows: It is divided into two distinct books, and each of these books is again divided into three sections. The first book deals with Health Insurance. Its first part consists of argumentative and possibly challengeable matter, written by one who is an ardent advocate of compulsory State Insurance against social and industrial vicissitudes. It puts the case for compulsion, shows the necessity for extension of the principle beyond the borders of the National Insurance Act of 1911, and takes Opportunity to refer to foreign experience. Part II. Is a descriptive and critical account of the National Health Insurance Law of 1911, which is complete in itself. Part III. Is the Health Section, or first part, of the National Insurance Act, 1911, printed verbatim, with explanatory notes designed to assist the reading and understanding of what is necessarily a complicated Act of Parliament.

Book II. Deals in similar fashion with Unemployment Insurance. In Part I. An attempt is made to sketch the problem of unemployment in its broad outlines in order to exhibit the nature of the problem, and the necessity for the regular payment of labour, to which end the author regards Unemployment Insurance as a first step. Part II. Is an exposition of the Unemployment Section of the Act of 1911. Part III. Is the Unemployment Section, or second part of the Act, printed verbatim, with explanatory notes as in the case of the Health Insurance.
