Giving Alms No Charity is a book written by Daniel Defoe, a famous English writer known for his works such as Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders. The book is a collection of essays that were written by Defoe in the early 18th century, and it discusses various social and economic issues of his time.The title of the book, Giving Alms No Charity, is taken from one of the essays in the book, which argues that simply giving money to the poor is not enough to solve the problem of poverty. Defoe believed that true charity involved not just giving money, but also providing education and employment opportunities to help people lift themselves out of poverty.The essays in the book cover a wide range of topics, including poverty, education, crime, and the role of government in society. Defoe was a strong advocate for individual freedom and believed that people should be free to pursue their own interests without interference from the government.Overall, Giving Alms No Charity provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and economic issues of the early 18th century, and it remains a relevant and thought-provoking read today.The consequence of this was, as in all tyrannies and persecutions it is, the people fled and scatter’d themselves in their neighbours countries, trade languish’d, manufactures went abroad, and never return’d, confusion reign’d and poverty succeeded.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
