The book critically examines the Social Fund's introduction and its two-decade operation, challenging the notion that loaning for need relief was a novel approach in social security. By utilizing previously overlooked primary data, it traces the historical context of loaning poor relief, enriching the understanding of the state's intentions in aiding the impoverished and enhancing contemporary social security policy knowledge. This analysis provides valuable insights into the evolution of social welfare practices.
