Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the late 19th century economic plight of the American farming population in comparison to other sectors of the nation. The author uses data from the United States Census Bureau and other sources to demonstrate the decline in farm income, increase in farm debt, and loss of farm ownership during the period. The author compares the decline of agriculture with the growth of other industries during the same period, such as manufacturing, banking, and railroads, highlighting the widening gap between the wealth of farmers and the rest of the nation. The book concludes that while the overall wealth of the United States grew significantly during the period studied, farmers fell behind, with many losing their farms and falling into debt. The author argues that this decline was caused by a combination of factors, including falling crop prices, rising interest rates, and unfair competition from railroads and other industries. The book provides valuable insights into the economic struggles of farmers in the late 19th century and their relevance to the present day.
