Eight Chapters on the History of Work and Wages (Classic Reprint)

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of taxation and labor in England during the turbulent period from the late 14th to the early 16th centuries. The author delves into the intricate details of Englandââ â¢s financial system, examining how the crown raised revenue, and the ways in which the English people responded to these demands. The book then shifts its focus to the world of labor, analyzing the daily lives of ordinary workers, the wages they earned, and the cost of living. Throughout, the author contrasts this era with the centuries that followed, revealing a surprising story of relative prosperity for the common worker during this time. The book highlights several key themes. The author argues that the English people, particularly those outside of London, were surprisingly well-off during the 15th century, enjoying a good standard of living, with high wages and affordable food. This period witnessed a significant rise in the wages of artisans and laborers, reflecting a more equitable distribution of wealth than often imagined. The author uses this fascinating historical period to examine the rise of the middle class in England, the development of a centralized government, and the complex interplay of labor and economics in medieval society. He examines the impact of momentous events like the Black Death and the Wars of the Roses on the lives of ordinary people. The book ultimately argues that the golden age of the English laborer came to an end with the reign of Henry VIII, as his extravagant spending and the dissolution of the monasteries ushered in a new era of economic instability and social upheaval. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
