Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Social Philosophy of Pensions: With a Review of Existing Pension Systems for Professional Groups' is a seminal examination of the economic and ethical underpinnings of retirement security. This work delves into the fundamental principles that should guide the creation and maintenance of pension funds, particularly for those in professional vocations such as education and the ministry.The text provides a comprehensive analysis of the social obligations inherent in professional life, arguing that a well-structured pension system is not merely a matter of financial management but a cornerstone of social stability and institutional health. The author explores the transition from discretionary charity to modern, actuarially sound systems, offering a critical review of the various pension schemes emerging in the early 20th century. By addressing the psychological and economic needs of workers, the work identifies the core tenets of a social philosophy that balances individual responsibility with collective security.This volume serves as an invaluable resource for historians of social welfare, economists, and scholars of public policy. It offers profound insights into the origins of modern retirement systems and remains a significant contribution to the discourse on labor relations and the evolution of social benefits.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
