No full textThe theory that scientific methodology could solve the problem of poverty attracted many followers during the late nineteenth century. Investigating and classifying would reveal the exact dimensions of need, it was argued, permitting the separation of vice from virtue. On both sides of the Atlantic, the Charity Organization Society emerged as a powerful, self-proclaimed prophet in what it saw as a war over welfare policies. The stakes, it declared, were high: targeted, minimalist aid would lead the worthy poor into the promised land of independence, while denial and discipline could reform the undeserving. Defects of character remained the primary explanation of poverty through the lifetime of the organization. Moreover, a large section of the British upper classes espoused these ideas for decades, although in the longer run support for universal entitlements defeated the defense of tough love.
