The growth of conditional cash transfers, schemes like Brazils Bolsa Familia that give poorpeople money as long as they send their children to school or have them vaccinated, arelogical developments of these ideas. The notion of schooling the poor to a better life seemedabsurd in the era of de Mandeville: Going to school in comparison to working is idleness,and the longer boys continue in this easy sort of life, the more unfit theyll be when grown upfor downright labour. Such poverty of thinking may sound archaic, but it persisted forlonger than you might think.
有条件的现金补助计划的增多正是这些理念合乎逻辑的演进,比如说巴西的家庭补助金计划,只要人们将孩子送去学校或是给孩子接种牛痘疫苗,政府就给他们发放现金。在曼德维尔所处的时代,为了能过上更好的生活而让穷人去上学的理念似乎有些荒谬。与工作比起来,上学就是懒惰的表现,而且孩子们过这种简单生活的时间越长,长大之后越难以适应完全的体力劳动。这对关于贫困的想法听起来可能会感觉有些过时,但是它们持续的时间超乎你的想象。
