Social Welfare and Business: The Krupp Welfare Program, 1860–1914

Author

  • McCreary, Eugene C.

Abstract

Wolf Schneider has written that no other great industrialist of the nineteenth century “esteemed the personal freedom of his workers so little and their material well-being so highly” as did Alfred Krupp. Professor McCreary examines this counterpoint of humanitarianism and self-interest which produced some of Germany's “first steps toward industrial social responsibility.”
