Excerpt from Influences of the Corn Laws, as Affecting All Classes of the Community, and Particularly the Landed Interests
To those, therefore, who are in search of argu ments for the purpose of supporting the partial views of either side, which have hitherto prevailed, I can hold out no encouragement to take the trouble of perusing the following pages: they will not there find one single word declaiming the land owners as selfish, monopolizing law-makers, or the manufacturers as sordid, avaricious beings, grasping at the riches of the great, and treading on the rights of the poor: the subject has already been handled too much in this way.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical and contemporary consequences of the Corn Laws, legislation that restricted grain imports to protect British agriculture. The author argues that these laws, intended to stabilize prices, instead led to wild fluctuations that benefited no one. The rapid expansion of wheat cultivation, driven by high prices, resulted in overproduction and subsequent collapse. This volatility not only harmed farmers who faced ruinously low prices in surplus years but also consumers who paid inflated prices during scarcity. The book concludes that free and open trade in grain would have benefited all parties involved and highlights the importance of understanding the unintended consequences of government intervention in the economy.
