ÒÔPauperizing the Rich,Õ by Alfred J. Ferris, is a
presentation of the subject of pauperism from the standpoint of one who seeks
industrial equity as the basis of our social life. ÔThe purpose of the book,Õ
says the author, Ôis to investigate the World's Charitable List.Õ But, unlike
the average writer on this theme, who only rails about the degradation of the poor,
as the recipients of alms, Mr. Ferris exposes the pauperized rich, Ôwho reap
where they do not sow.Õ By his definition he makes Ôthe World's Charitable List
include all who receive for their own benefit the fruit of others' labor,Õ and
then devotes 426 pages to the demonstration of this proposition.Ó
