Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to expose the deep-rooted causes of the violence and unrest that arose due to the introduction of machinery during the industrial revolution. The author argues that the blame lies squarely on the landed gentry, who passed a law prohibiting the exchange of manufactured goods for food with foreign nations. This self-serving act led to a glut of agricultural workers and a corresponding reduction in wages, creating an environment ripe for exploitation and misery. The book delves into the historical context of the Corn Laws and their devastating impact, exploring the relationship between economic inequality and social unrest. It uncovers the motivations of the aristocracy and the devastating consequences of their actions, offering valuable insights into the interplay between power, greed, and human suffering. This book sheds light on the historical roots of economic inequality, making it a crucial read for anyone seeking to understand the complex relationship between economics, politics, and social justice.
