Social Switzerland: Studies of Present-Day Social Movements and Legislation in the Swiss Republic (Classic Reprint) by William Harbutt Dawson (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from Social Switzerland: Studies of Present-Day Social Movements and Legislation in the Swiss Republic I do t think that this little book needs an apology. The investigations of which it is a record were undertaken in the hope and belief that the experience of Switzerland, in t a few directions of social reform, would prove of assistance in our own country, by throwing light, t indeed upon our problems - for these are clear and plain to view - but upon the treatment of them. Those who have taken the trouble to observe and inquire must have been impressed by the boldness and originality which the Cantonal and Municipal Governments of the Swiss Republic have shown of late years in their manifold excursions in the field of social reform. For there, as here and everywhere, new social ideas and forces are at work, softening the human relationship in various ways - between rich and poor, between employer and employed, between the governing and the governed.
