Poverty by B Seebohm Rowntree
A century ago, Seebohm Rowntree embarked on an investigation of poverty in York. The study was hugely influential in the thinking which led to the foundation of the welfare state and his research methods still have validity today. This classic work is republished in a special centenary edition with an extended Preface by Jonathan Bradshaw.
"The reprint, one hundred years on, is testimony to the power of this book to incrementally change the world, not just in York or Britain but much further afieldIt contains all that was included in the best of the original editions." International Journal of Epidemiology
