This book examines the tradition of ethical socialism in Britain, chronicling its successes, failures, and relevance to contemporary society.  The authors focus on the work of a disparate group of writers who all championed social ideals--Thomas More, William Cobbett, L.T. Hobhouse, George Orwell, T.H. Marshall, and R.H. Tawney.  By comparing and assessing their intentions, theories of society and action, senses of history, and beliefs in moral motivation as the mainspring of individual conduct and social organization, the book demonstrates that the ideas and attitudes of ethical socialism are deeply rooted in British culture.

Rising Crime and the Dismembered Family: How Conformist Intellectuals Have Campaigned Against Common Sense (Choice in Welfare S.)

Institute Of Economic Affairs

Crime is caused by poverty and unemployment! If poverty increases, then so too does crime. Such is the conclusion of the 'no-fault' theory of crime that holds sway among the social-affairs experts. In this book, Dennis argues with the central assumptions of this theory, focusing his criticism on the poverty lobby which claims "the poor are getting poorer and thus, so is crime". Dennis disagrees, instead arguing that rising crime is caused by decline in the family structure. The underlying theme here is that money will not help a problem which is essentially a moral and cultural one.

It has been over 40 years since the trinity of Crisman, McCool, and Garyton united to become Portage, Indiana. 
Located 50 miles from downtown Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan, Portage Township has emerged as a growing residential, commercial, and industrial center. Portage became a town in 1959 and attained city status in 1967, but the region's history begins with the indigenous Wey Indians of the 1700s and the Potowotamie, whose land was sold in 1834. Pioneers then settled the land alongside immigrants. For many generations Portage has offered a new beginning to those who sought work, political asylum, or simply a better life.

The authors argue that the traditional family system developed to equip children for their own eventual adult responsibilities, but they present evidence that since the 1960s there has been a weakening of these norms with damaging consequences. 
This Third Edition reproduces the now-classic 1993 text and adds an Afterword by Professor Peter Saunders, which updates the analysis and the statistics.
