Sinopsis
Explore the real roots of urban misery and what it means for policy, charity, and everyday life.
This volume surveys the causes of modern hardship in cities, drawing on wide research and the author’s own observations. It explains how poverty, unemployment, migration to towns, and shifting industry create hardship for families, and why simply offering relief may miss the bigger picture of social conditions.
Misery and Its Causes discusses how society can respond—through better employment systems, smarter public policy, and thoughtful investment in social reform rather than relying on charity alone. It presents practical ideas about organizing work, improving living conditions, and balancing budget concerns with the need for humane programs.
- How urban growth, unemployment, and migration shape family well‑being.
- The role of employment services and the idea of a well‑organized labor market.
- The debate over charity versus public investment and the economics of reform.
- Policies that aim to reduce misery by changing social conditions, not just treating symptoms.
Ideal for readers of social history and policy who want a grounded view of how poverty and social distress arise—and how communities can address them.

Excerpt from Misery and Its Causes
Professor devine's Misery and its Causes, like Professor Patten's New Basis of Civilization, with which this series began, attempts to articulate a new social philosophy, pragmatic, economic, and socially adaptable to the existing conditions of American life. Both volumes contain in substance the Kennedy lec tures for the year of their respective publication, as pre pared for the School of Philanthropy on a foundation made possible through the generosity of Mr. John S. Kennedy, for the express purpose of creating a literature of social work which shall guide, inspire, and make more efficient the busy practical worker who must replenish from time to time the sources of his energies in order to serve with power.
