Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ills of wealthy British landowners who hold excessive amounts of land for personal enjoyment instead of developing it for agriculture. It describes the harmful effects of this land monopoly on British society, including the loss of agricultural jobs, rural depopulation, and the migration of the British people to other countries. The author argues that large landholdings are historically linked to social unrest and even revolution, citing examples from Italy and France. He proposes that the government should introduce laws to force the subdivision of large estates when landowners die, and to ensure that farmers have security of tenure and fair rents. The book also discusses other harmful practices by landowners, such as excessive game hunting, and argues for legal remedies to protect tenant farmers from these abuses. The book should be of interest to anyone concerned about rural poverty, land reform, and the economic and social problems of modern Britain.
