   Granted.  WElfare in various forms existed long before, to   
   wit the Elizabethan "poor laws" etc.   
      
   THis is why when these discussions keep coming up in the   
   various Fidonet political fora I point folks to TenBroek's   
   "Hope deferred" which should be at least available to you   
   via interlibrary loan.  WIth work there is hope.
