Welfare - Opposing Viewpoints

by David Bender (Editor), Bruno Leone (Editor)

"Those who do not know their opponent's arguments do not completely understand their own". Each volume in the Opposing Viewpoints Series could serve as a model, not only providing access to a wide diversity of opinions, but also stimulating readers to do further research for group discussion and individual interest. Addressed in this book is whether welfare is necessary, whether it encourages dependency, if abuse of the system by individuals and corporations is a serious problem, and the question of reform. Entries include excerpts from speeches by elected officials and articles by journalists, economists, and former welfare recipients.
