From the Paper:

"Epstein was not a social worker; he was an economist, but he definitely was an influence on the development of social work. My interest in Epstein grew from the current controversy over Social Security. When I did a little research on the history of the program, it became evident how crucial his efforts were toward bringing that singularly successful social program into existence. Most people who go into social work want to help people who cannot help themselves, and Epstein, although not a social worker, did just that. He worked to remove old people from poverty and to give them some semblance of security in their old age. Epstein is an inspiration for anyone who wants to make the world a better place."
