GMP God, money, and politics
English attitudes to blindness and touch, from the Enlightenment to integration
by Simon Hayhoe
Why do we have the attitudes we do towards blindness, touch and blind people? Can our attitudes change with our culture? Have these attitudes always been the same, or have they been adapted to suit the purposes of institutions and intellectual beliefs? God, Money and Politics addresses these questions in the context of England and the English. It examines how the nature of attitudes has changed radically from the beginning of the Enlightenment to integration in education. It also looks at the influences on these attitudes from the greater culture of academia and philanthropy. In doing so this book describes how these beliefs have been manipulated by the unrelated need to:
• impose a Christian morality and understand God
• reduce spending and produce capital
• gain and retain political power

Book Details
First Sentence
"The late seventeenth century—after the publication of William Molyneux’s question to John Locke—and the late twentieth century—when the first true legal step to integration of disability in English society, the 1981 Education Act, was passed—began two important eras of revolutionary change in attitudes to blindness and touch in England."
