Chapter 29 in Labor Economics from a Free Market Perspective:Employing the Unemployable, 2008, pp 381-393 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: AbstractPaternalism is a relationship where a person usually in a powerful position helps someone below him in the pecking order Alston and Ferrie disparage this practice, and the author criticizes them for this unwarranted stance. The latter also maintains, vis a vis the former, that the mechanization of southern U S agriculture was not responsible for the rise of the welfare state in that country.
