Synopsis
A clear, data‑driven look at Britain’s soil, capital, and policy during a time of crisis and change.
This edition presents James Caird’s comprehensive analysis of the British land question. It shows how bad seasons and rising imports strained farmers, and how competing foreign production reshaped prices and profits. The work argues for reforms that secure tenants, empower landowners, and strengthen home production while preserving the country’s food supply.
Written with a focus on practical economics, the text links agricultural capital, labor, and policy to the nation’s broader prosperity. It explores the balance between free trade, land ownership, and the need for measures that encourage productive farming and fair returns for all parties involved.
- Why farming capital declined and how it affected farmers, owners, and workers
- How imports, price trends, and land use changed the competitiveness of English agriculture
- Proposals for tenant security, land reform, and stable investment in the countryside
- Practical suggestions for boosting home production, from dairy to other crops
Ideal for readers of economic history, policy analysis, and anyone curious about how Britain might secure its agricultural future.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of the British land question, examining the severe losses sustained by farmers due to a series of poor harvests, and exploring the concurrent surge in American agricultural production. The author examines how foreign competition and the challenges farmers faced in the 1870s and 1880s highlighted inefficiencies in the agricultural system, while also prompting adaptations such as an increase in the domestic production of meat and provisions. Amidst the debate on land reform, the book emphasizes the need to strengthen British agriculture along existing lines, while also advocating for measures to ensure security for tenant farmers' capital and interests. The author emphasizes the crucial role of free contract and cooperation between landowners and farmers in driving the highest levels of production. The insights in this book, which draw on the author's years of experience in the field, provide valuable perspectives on the historical and ongoing challenges facing British agriculture and offer practical guidance for navigating its future.
