Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in 1916, advocates for the rights of farmers in Canada and was written with an intent to raise their class-consciousness. The author argues that farmers consistently get the short end of the stick when it comes to banking, the production and distribution of agricultural products, and fair political representation despite forming the majority of the population in the country. The book is very critical of the banking system, the tariff system, and the Canadian political culture of the time, and points out how these systems are inimical to the interests of farmers. The author highlights how farmers lack class cohesion and are easily turned against each other and their allies so as to be manipulated and taken advantage of by those in power. The author exhorts farmers to unite in their economic and political interests and to use their leverage to get a bigger share of the pie.
