Portada de David Wagner: The Poorhouse: America's Forgotten Institution: America's Forgotten (ePUB)

Though poorhouses (sometimes also known as almshouses or poor farms) were around United States’ history for nearly four centuries, there has been little written about them. Not only was this institution critical to the history of social welfare and the poor but also for the disabled, correctional institutions, and aged. The book not only reviews history, but it analyzes how institutional care has in recent years regained its dominance in social welfare.
