Synopsis

Peasant Rents is a book written by Richard Jones in 1831 and published in 1895. It is the first half of an essay on the distribution of wealth and the sources of taxation. The book focuses on the system of peasant rents in England during the 18th and 19th centuries, which was a form of land tenure where peasants paid rent to landowners in exchange for the use of a plot of land. Jones analyzes the economic and social implications of this system, arguing that it was a major factor in the unequal distribution of wealth and the concentration of land ownership in the hands of the few. He also discusses the various sources of taxation in England at the time, including taxes on property, income, and consumption, and argues for a more equitable system of taxation that would help to address the inequalities in the distribution of wealth. Overall, Peasant Rents is a seminal work in the field of economic history and provides valuable insights into the social and economic conditions of England during the 18th and 19th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
