The first part explores the concept of social responsibility and the different ways in which it has been interpreted throughout history. The second part examines the relationship between different social classes and the obligations they owe to each other. The third part discusses the role of the state in promoting social welfare and the limits of government intervention.Overall, What Social Classes Owe To Each Other is a thought-provoking and controversial book that continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.
