Description and Table of Contents
Description
This treatise on human rights contends that an "enterprise culture" of the kind which is in fashion in England clearly promotes material prosperity and efficiency, but for a society to be enduringly strong it must also have the ability to care properly for its citizens. The authors of these essays argue that one of the primary duties of a government is to ensure that all citizens can enjoy their human rights and fundamental freedoms, and that the ultimate measure of a "civilized" society is how it treats its poor, needy and disabled.
