The Destructiveness of Welfare Institutions— Ivan Illich

“no amount of dollars can remove the inherent destructiveness of welfare institutions, once the professional hierarchies of these institutions have convinced society that their ministrations are necessary."

My Thoughts:

Ivan Illich also talks about the powerlessness of the poor.

How society increasingly relies on institutional care and that results in peoples inability to take care of themselves.

And how the system creates demands that simply by excisting.
