Abstract

Bu makale, yoksulluğun tarihsel izlenimlerini ve toplumsal yankılarını, özellikle değişen çalışma etiği bağlamında analiz ederek modern yoksulluğun kökenlerini ve yansımalarını ortaya koymaktadır. 19. yüzyıldan günümüze, yoksulluğun ve çalışma etiğinin evrimi incelendiğinde, radikal değişimler yaşanmış gibi gözükse de yoksulların kaderine terk edilişi konusunda temel bir değişiklik olmadığı savunulmaktadır. Çalışma, tarihin tekrarından ibaret olan modern yoksulluğun, değişen zamanlarda ve çalışma etiği anlayışlarındaki dönüşümlere rağmen nasıl sürekli bir yapıya büründüğünü incelemektedir.

Origins of Modern Poverty: The Relationship Between Poverty and Work in the Light of Historical Recurrence

Abstract

This study reveals the origins and reflections of modern poverty by analyzing the historical impressions and societal reverberations, especially in the context of the changing work ethic. Examining the evolution of poverty and the work ethic from the 19th century to the present, it is argued that despite seemingly radical changes, there has been no fundamental shift in abandoning the poor to their fate. The study investigates how modern poverty, which is characterized as a repetition of history, assumes a continuous structure despite transformations in perceptions of the work ethic over time.
