Synopsis
This book provides a compelling exploration into the diverse history and societal impacts of the wool trade in Britain, viewing the industry as a cooperative process that involves individuals from all levels of society in its production, processing, trade, and usage. The author not only details the direct roles of shepherds and weavers but also reveals the roles of merchants, sailors, politicians, and even consumers in the production and purchase of woolens, situating the trade within a broad historical context that traces its shifts from the ancient world through the middle ages to its modern development as a global industry. The work also presents a nuanced take on the ethical dilemmas and social problems associated with the wool trade, addressing issues such as child labor and animal cruelty, and considers the tensions between the pursuit of profit and social responsibility within the industry. The book stands out for its depth of research, engaging prose, and the clear passion for the subject that the author brings to each page.
