Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores Britain's Corn Laws, starting from the 17th century. The author meticulously examines the impact of these laws on the population and their standard of living, particularly during periods of scarcity and plenty. The book sheds light on the ways these laws affected the economy, and the motivations of the lawmakers. It discusses how earlier free-market policies led to food availability, encouraging population growth, whilst later policies of protectionism resulted in distress and reliance on imported grain. The author's work illuminates the complex relationship between agricultural practices, trade regulations, and the well-being of the British people. This book is a valuable resource for understanding the historical forces that have shaped Britain's food security, and its relevance persists amidst today's concerns over supply chains and food security.
