Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the tumultuous history of English Corn Laws, implemented to moderate the price of corn and enact a protectionist policy on imported grains. The author delves into the complex relationship between these laws, the landowners, and the impoverished laborers of the time. In doing so, this book highlights how these laws were designed to keep grain prices high, thereby benefiting landowners while simultaneously burdening the poor with the high cost of bread, their primary sustenance. Throughout the book, the author meticulously outlines the evolution of these laws and their impact on the social and economic landscape of England. The author does not shy away from critiquing the devastating consequences of the Corn Laws, arguing that they exacerbated inequality and perpetuated the suffering of the working class. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable analysis of the interplay between economic policy and social justice, revealing the detrimental effects of prioritizing the interests of the few over the well-being of the many.
