“Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.” MenDoeIndividualSocialPoorLevelsPovertyRichRaisesCharityWorthyAidsInequalityGenerosityNeedyGrievanceSocial InequalityAlmsgiving Author:Evita Peron
