The Welfare Trait

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the detrimental impact of the welfare state on work motivation across generations, attributing it to personality mis-development induced by welfare policies. Dr. Adam Perkins presents evidence that welfare can lead to higher birth rates in disadvantaged households, fostering employment-resistant personality traits, such as aggression and rule-breaking. He argues for policy reforms to prevent welfare from increasing the number of children in such households, warning that without change, the welfare state may undermine the nation's work ethic.
