Description

Who deserves to get what and what should they have to do in order to get it?

These are questions that societies have grappled with since antiquity, and they continue to echo today.

This book explores questions of social deservingness by tracking how it has been treated across the centuries, from ancient Greece to the present day, taking in many notable thinkers along the way.

In doing so, it focuses, in particular, on what different thinkers have had to say on and about poor relief and social welfare.

Modern welfare systems are also examined to show how particular logics of poverty, while they may be ancient in origin, continue to inform our notions of who deserves to get what today.

This book will be of interest to those studying or working in the areas of social welfare, social policy and sociology.
