America Before WelfareNYU Press, 1996 - 558 стор. Amidst the current debates on the future of welfare, one voice has been conspicuously absent: that of the unemployed and underprivileged.

It is at once a profound work of history and an anecdotal window onto America's past, in the days before FDR's New Deal. |
