He proposes several solutions to the problems with the Poor Laws, including the establishment of a national system of relief and the creation of a system of public works to provide employment for the poor. The book provides valuable insights into the social and economic conditions of Great Britain in the early 19th century, as well as the political debates surrounding the issue of welfare provision.
