About this book
In an era marked by rapid industrialization and social upheaval, "Crimes of Charity" by Konrad Bercovici offers a piercing examination of the organized charity systems that emerged to address urban poverty. Bercovici deftly unveils the stark contradictions inherent in these institutions, revealing how they often perpetuate the very struggles they aim to alleviate. With a focus on the disillusionment of the impoverished and the moral dilemmas faced by charitable organizations, this provocative work challenges readers to reconsider the ethics of giving. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, "Crimes of Charity" serves as a vital resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of altruism and its societal impact.
