Yet the problems persist and even grow. Howard Husock argues that we have lost sight of a more powerful strategya preventive strategy, based on positive social norms.</p><p>In the past, individuals and institutions of civil society actively promoted what may be called bourgeois norms, to nurture healthy habits so that social problems wouldnt emerge in the first place. It was a <em>formative</em> effort. Today, a massive social service state instead takes a <em>reformative</em> approach to problems that have already become vexing. It offers counseling along with material support, but struggling communities have been more harmed than helped by governments embrace. And social service agencies have a vested interest in the continuance of problems.</p><p>Government can provide a financial safety net for citizens, but it cannot effectively create or promote healthy norms. Nor should it try. That formative work is best done by civil society.</p><p>This book focuses on six key figures in the history of social welfare to illuminate how a norm-promoting culture was built, then lost, and how it can be revived. We read about Charles Loring Brace, founder of the Childrens Aid Society; Jane Addams, founder of Hull House; Mary Richmond, a social work pioneer; Grace Abbott of the federal Childrens Bureau; Wilbur Cohen of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare; and Geoffrey Canada, founder of the Harlem Childrens Zonea model for bringing real benefit to a poor community through positive social norms.
