The 1996 Lord Acton Essay Competition
The Remedy for Poverty
Essays on the Moral Foundation of Effective Charity
“The remedy for poverty is not in the material resources of the
rich, but in the moral resources of the poor. These, which are lulled
and deadened by money-gifts, can be raised and strengthened only by personal
influence, sympathy, charity. Money gifts save the poor man who gets them,
but give longer life to pauperism in the country.”
– Lord Acton
