First Published in 2005. The study of social administration is fundamentally the study of social policy, how it came to be in the developed communities of Western society, how it grew and how it succeeded in achieving the ends which it set out to achieve. This is Volume I from a collection on the battle against poverty and looks at Pauperism of the Elizabethan era to social policy and human rights of the 1960s.
