035 DSR – Why Welfare Doesn’t Work

August 4, 2012 — Leave a comment

“The difficulty is that in many ways our welfare systems and philanthropic bodies are geared in the opposite direction – people are defined primarily by what they lack, and they will be very grateful and cooperative, but otherwise passive, when that is provided. Moreover, they quickly learn that to get more help the quickest and most efficient route is to display more problems.” – The Co-Production Principle & Time Dollars – a report by David Boyle
