Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Tunbridge Wells, was born in 1790. He entered Caius College, Cambridge, in 1812, and after receiving his degree in 1816 he took Holy Orders, and was curate successively at various places in Sussex. In 1831 he published Part I. Rent, of An Essay on the Distribution of Wealth and on the Sources of Taxation. Shortly afterwards he was appointed to the Professorship of Political Economy at the newly established King s College, London, and took occasion in his Introductory Lecture (F eb. 27, 1833) to explain his attitude towards contemporary economic speculation. In 1835 he succeeded Malthus as Professor of Political Economy and History at the East India College at Haileybury. Meanwhile he had greatly interested himself in proposals for the Commutation of Tithe, and in 1836 he took a large share in the preparation and defence of the bill finally passed by the government of Lord John Russell. Accordingly he was appointed in that year one of the three Commissioners to whom the execution of the act was intrusted, an office which he retained until the separate existence of the Tithe Commission came to an end in 1851. During these years his energies were mainly engaged in the work of the Commission, involving, besides the routine of administration, the decision of many intricate questions of practice and law.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an extensive historical study of labor, m� tayer, ryot, and cottier rents, tracing their profound influence on the social and political landscapes across the globe. While labor rents�"akin to serfdom�"were once prevalent in Europe, they have since been abolished or adapted, with vestiges lingering even in countries like Germany and Ireland. Metayage, involving sharecropping arrangements, remains widespread in Mediterranean regions, while ryot rents, where peasants pay taxes directly to the state, are common in Asia. Each form of rent shapes rural economies and the relationship between landlords and tenants, often determining patterns of inequality, dependence, and potential for economic growth. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
