Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the causes and consequences of the severe food shortage and price inflation that struck Britain between 1795 and 1800. The author argues that the main cause was a decline in domestic wheat production, exacerbated by the increased demand for food from a growing population, and an increase in the wealth of the nation. Thus the price of everyday food increased, impacting the poorest in society the most. The book also examines ineffective measures taken to address the issue, including the outcry against monopolists and speculators, and the implementation of a maximum price for wheat. The author argues that a combination of increased domestic production, reduced consumption, and an influx of imported grain would be necessary to address the issue, and emphasizes the need for calm and level-headed responses to food shortages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
