The Limits of Voluntarism: Charity and Welfare from the New Deal through the Great Society
Morris, Andrew J. F. (Union College, New York)
This book demonstrates how charities embraced public welfare in the era following the New Deal. Relieved of providing money to the needy, charities instead offered counselling and other therapeutic services. Morris traces the creation and erosion of this public/private division of labour and suggests its implications for contemporary public policy.
