Lectures on the Relation between Law and Public Opinion in England
Proponents of state intervention opposed to individualists.
Between 1830 and 1840 the issue between individualists and collectivists was fairly joined.
This explanation in reality is nothing else than an attempted analysis of the conditions or causes which have favoured the growth of collectivism, or, if the matter be looked at from the other side, have undermined the authority of Benthamite liberalism.
Against this evil of poverty the State ought, it is felt by collectivists, to protect the wageearning class, and in order to give this protection must go a good way towards securing for every citizen something like the same advantages, in the form of education, or of physical well-being, as the rich can obtain by their own efforts.
