Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a comparative study of the origin of the welfare state in England and Germany, from 1850 to 1914. It presents original conclusions about the differences between British and German approaches. Peter Hennock analyses policies on social security and the public provision of medical care, dealing with public poor relief, industrial injury, with sickness, invalidity and old age, and with unemployment. In each case policies in Britain and in the German Empire are compared for their actual provisions, their consequences and the politics that produced them.

The book will appeal to students and scholars of British and European political history, social history and social policy.…
