Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses Made at the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Liability Insurance Association, 1911 Last summer when Mr. Lawson wrote asking me to give a paper at this Conference, he suggested for my title - "Workmen´s Compensation from the Viewpoint of the Social-Welfare Worker." I resented this title for two reasons. First, because I´m not a "Social-Welfare Worker" - I´d rather have you know that I am a member of the Bar and an officer of the State. Second, because there is no "social-welfare worker´s" point of view toward the problems of progress - no special point of view, I mean. The social worker´s point of view is the point of view of the manufacturer when the competitive struggle lets up long enough for him to look rationally upon the life of the community around him - of the workman sure of his job, who dares take time to think of the common good - of the lawyer old and wise, or young and free enough to consider in his idle moments how a law serves justice, not merely how it helps or hinders him in winning a case - of the insurance man, who in the midst of his fight to get risks away from the other fellow, now and then gets a vision of what vast service the insurance business could be to humanity. In short, the social worker´s point of view is just the average good citizen´s point of view, if you catch him in a moment when he is altogether free from that self interest which is as a general thing so necessary to his success in the business world - it is the point of view of human welfare - the common good. And the reason why the social worker takes this point of view all the time, while the average citizen takes it only at his best and freest moments, is that it goes with the social worker´s job. Now, what I resented was this: that you should assume that the viewpoint of general human welfare belonged exclusively to the social worker, that it was none of the employer´s business, or the workman´s business, or the lawyer´s business, or the insurance man´s business.
