Abstract

Paternalism is a relationship where a person usually in a powerful position helps someone below him in the pecking order Alston and Ferrie disparage this practice, and the author criticizes them for this unwarranted stance. The latter also maintains, vis a vis the former, that the mechanization of southern U S agriculture was not responsible for the rise of the welfare state in that country.
