Effects Of The Corn Laws

About this book

The book ""Effects of the Corn Laws"" by Thomas Malthus is a historical work that examines the impact of the Corn Laws on the British economy and society. The Corn Laws were a series of tariffs and restrictions on the import and export of grain that were in place in England from 1815 to 1846. Malthus was a prominent economist and scholar who argued that the Corn Laws had a negative impact on the British economy, particularly on the working classes. In this book, he presents a detailed analysis of the economic and social consequences of the Corn Laws, arguing that they led to higher food prices, reduced agricultural productivity, and increased poverty and suffering among the poor. Malthus also explores the political and ideological reasons behind the Corn Laws, arguing that they were motivated by the interests of the landed aristocracy rather than the common good. Overall, ""Effects of the Corn Laws"" is an important work of economic and social history that sheds light on a critical period in British history and the development of modern capitalism.A revision of the corn laws, it is understood, is immediately to come under the consideration of the legislature. That the decision on such a subject, should be founded on a correct and enlightened view of the whole question, will be allowed to be of the utmost importance, both with regard to the stability of the measures to be adopted, and the effects to be expected from them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
