Henderson makes a compelling case for the importance and paradoxical nature of Tocquevilles arguments. Catherine Labio, co-editor of The Great Mirror of Folly This bracing and often elegant collection of texts deserves a place on the shelves of all scholars and citizens interested in Tocqueville, as well as of policy thinkers brave enough to confront the essential, only imperfectly solvable problems with which the great author confronts us. Ralph C. Hancock, translator of Natural Law and Human Rights "An inspired volume . . . introduc[ed] in a lucid and informative way. Christine Dunn Henderson helpfully highlights the 'paradoxes' at the core of Tocquevilles thoughts on poverty and public welfare." Law & Liberty "This recent addition to the Tocqueville literature in English offers the first translation of Tocquevilles Second Memoir on Pauperism (1837). . . . The value of this small volume lies in the way it reveals Tocquevilles thought in evolution." The Tocqueville Review
