Bemerkung: "Social policy, as executed in western civilization, is apparently at a crossroads, with "forgotten" contradictions between the rich and the poor having once again become topical. The current economic and social crisis, including the crisis of the welfare state, raises the need to seek solutions from the past as well as the present. This volume brings together examples of social practice in the Central European region from the 19th century to the 1950s."
