The undeserving rich

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in The Engaging Manager, 2012, pp 196-198 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Victorians, with all their moral certainty and a good dose of Puritan piety, were happy to endorse the concept of the deserving and undeserving poor. Indeed Max Weber understood this distinction as one of the crucial features of the Protestant work ethic.
