Welfare Of The Welfare State
The welfare state in Britain as we know it today did not exist, looking back through the 18th and 19th Centuries many of the social welfare
benefits that are available to Britain's today were not even imaginable to the people at that time. Today much of the help that is available to those
in the margins of society is seen as an obligation for the state to correct. However in the Elizabethan Era the attitudes towards welfare and the poor
were very negative and unsympathetic. In this essay I will be discussing welfare before the 'classic welfare state', the provisions for poor, the key
features of the welfare state and why it was developed.
The key features of the welfare state are very linked to the 1942 report on Social Insurance and Allied Services or also known as the Beveridge

Education and Full employment. Asa Briggs a British historian defined the welfare state as a state which "...organised power is deliberately
used in order to play of the market in 3 direction; by guaranteeing an individuals a minimum income, narrowing extent of insecurity by enabling
people to meet certain 'social contingencies' which lead to family or individual crisis and thirdly by ensuring that all citizens without distinction
