"This book focuses on the Base of the Pyramid (BOP) in affluent countries and examines the challenge of how to address the needs of deprived population groups in wealthy societies. The BOP concept was originally developed for the situation of the bottom-tier of societies in developing and emerging countries. It presents an avenue for businesses and other organisations to develop opportunities and new business models that enable and empower those at the BOP. This book adapts BOP models to the context of affluent countries. BOP projects present also in affluent countries promising avenues for businesses, entrepreneurs, and civil society actors to become agents of change through value creation and business models that enable the BOP population to raise their socio-economic welfare and well-being. This book thus furthers our understanding of the characteristics of BOP markets and BOP initiatives in affluent countries, an area widely ignored by BOP scholars so far. It discusses challenges and opportunities of how to mitigate poverty and increase welfare in a sustainable manner while protecting vulnerable groups, and describes several instances of the lives of those affected. The different chapters employ a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to lay a first foundation for BOP research in affluent countries. This book is recommended reading for managers and policy makers, as well as students and academics interested in the Base of the Pyramid"--

The Old Poor Law in England and Wales, administered by the local parish, dispensed benefits to paupers providing a uniquely comprehensive, pre-modern system of relief. Remaining in force until 1834, the law provided goods and services to keep the poor alive.Combining short- and long-form articles and essays, Providing for the Poor brings together academics and practitioners from across disciplines to re-examine the micro-politics of poverty in the long eighteenth century through the eyes of the poor, their providers and enablers. From the providence of the parochial sixpence given in order to move a beggar on, to coercive marriages, plebeian clothing and the much broader implications of vagrancy towards the end of the long eighteenth century, this volume aims to bridge the gaps in our understanding of the experiences of people across the social spectrum whose lives were touched by the Old Poor Law. It brings together some of the wider arguments concerning the nature of welfare during economically testing times, and navigates the rising bureaucracy inherent in the system, to produce a radical new history of the Old Poor Law in astonishing detail.
