- Abstract: Contrary to the legislation on public assistance in operation in England at the beginning of the sixteenth century, Thomas More does not assimilate poverty, and its corollary, vagabondage, to a moral fault. He inaugurates a move from morality to sociology and from sociology to economics by applying the notion of vice – limited until this point to an exclusively individual context – to the state of an inhuman society and economy, and proposes remedies, the reach and originality of which we analyse here.
