Building the Invisible Orphanage: A Prehistory of the American Welfare System
Matthew A. Crenson
This book examines the connection between the decline of the orphanage and the rise of welfare in America. Matthew Crenson argues that the prehistory of the welfare system was played out not on the stage of national politics or class conflict but in the micropolitics of institutional management.
