Oliver Twist. That’s probably who you think of when you think of workhouses, and you’re not far wrong. But how did English people get to the point that they thought cruelty to children was okay?

This the podcast version of The Workhouse Effect, Annette’s original post at Non-Boring History, based on The Workhouse, by Norman Longmate. Read it here:
