The Old Poor-Law and the New Socialism: Or Pauperism and Taxation is a book written by Francis Charles Montague and published in 1885. The book explores the history of the poor-law system in England and its impact on society, as well as the emerging socialist movement and its proposed solutions to the problem of poverty. Montague argues that the old poor-law system, which relied on local parishes to provide relief to the poor, was inefficient and ineffective in addressing poverty. He then examines the socialist approach to poverty, which advocates for government intervention and redistribution of wealth. Montague critiques this approach, arguing that it would lead to increased taxation and a reduction in individual freedom. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the poor-law system and the socialist movement during the late 19th century, offering insight into the debates surrounding poverty and social welfare at the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
