    “Good research on the history of thought and social reforms is all too rare. Guerrand’s work attracted attention a few years ago; Henri Hatzfeld’s follows the same line of integrity and intelligence. We were already indebted to this sociologist for a study on the evolution of medicine. Here, he extends that work by analyzing, with subtlety, the legislative effort devoted to social risks—or at least to some of them: maternity, illness, old age—which, until recently, were among the most negative aspects of the working class condition. (…) The book opens with a chapter devoted to pauperism and the “uncertainty of existence” that characterized the initial situation. It analyzes in detail the objections that classical liberalism raised against social welfare institutions and then proceeds to examine the attitudes and strategies of employers and workers in the face of the first reform initiatives.” Under the title “the engine and the brake”, he finally draws up the historical and sociological assessment of the movement which opened up to the French, rather belatedly it must be said, the paths of generalized social security. » (Jean-René Tréanton, Revue française de sociologie, 1975, p. 123).
