托马斯·马尔萨斯《人口论》· An Essay on the Principle of Population · 投资
Lastly, for cases of extreme distress, county workhouses might be established, supported by rates upon the whole kingdom, and free for persons of all counties, and indeed of all nations. The fare should be hard, and those that were able obliged to work. It would be desirable that they should not be considered as comfortable asylums in all difficulties, but merely as places where severe distress might find some alleviation. A part of these houses might be separated, or others built for a most beneficial purpose, which has not been infrequently taken notice of, that of providing a place where any person, whether native or foreigner, might do a day's work at all times and receive the market price for it. Many cases would undoubtedly be left for the exertion of individual benevolence.

最后,对于极端困苦的情况,马尔萨斯建议设立郡级济贫院,由全国税收支持,对所有郡甚至所有国家的人开放。伙食应粗劣,有劳动能力者必须工作。济贫院不应被视为舒适的避难所,而只是严重困苦得到缓解的地方。其中一部分可分开,或另建房屋,用于一个非常有益的目的:任何人,无论本国人还是外国人,随时可以来做一天工并得到市场工资。许多情况仍可留给个人慈善去处理。
