Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the widespread consumption of tea and foreign spirits, beginning around 1715, gravely damaged the Scottish economy. The author contends that smuggling, particularly of these goods, led to a decline in the production and consumption of domestic grain, reducing its price and devastating landed gentry and farmers who depended on it for income. The author further suggests that the landed gentry's indulgence of smugglers, driven by low prices and a desire for cheap alcohol and tea, led to their own financial ruin and the nation's economic decline. The author concludes that only the landed gentry, who possess the power to curtail smuggling, can save the nation from economic ruin. This book offers a unique perspective on the economic history of Scotland and highlights the interplay between individual choices, economic consequences, and the importance of collective action in addressing societal challenges. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
