Giving Alms No Charity - Paperback

by Daniel Defoe (Author)

""Giving Alms No Charity"" is a collection of essays written by the renowned English author, Daniel Defoe. Published in 1704, the book explores the issue of poverty and the ways in which society should approach the problem. Defoe argues that simply giving money to the poor is not enough and that true charity requires a more comprehensive approach, including education, job training, and moral guidance. He also critiques the government's handling of poverty, arguing that their policies are ineffective and often exacerbate the problem. The book is a thought-provoking examination of a timeless issue and remains relevant today.The consequence of this was, as in all tyrannies and persecutions it is, the people fled and scatter'd themselves in their neighbours countries, trade languish'd, manufactures went abroad, and never return'd, confusion reign'd and poverty succeeded.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
