I ran across mention of this on a UK blog (thanks David!) and relates to the UK situation directly, but it’s a warning to us all about how government policies in the name of “compassion” actually do the opposite of what’s intended.
The online book is by Patricia Morgan and is titled The War Between the State and the Family: How Government Divides and Impoverishes by London’s Institute for Economic Affairs.
Notably according to the reviewer David Field (it’s starting to sound like the US here) the system designed to alleviate child poverty enhances it by creating disincentives to marriage and work.
