The Claims Fo The Landed Interests To Legislative Protection Considered: With Reference To The Manner In Which The Manufacturing, Commercial, And Agricultural Classes Contribute To National Wealth And Prosperity; And Suitable Remedies For Relieving The Distress And The Latter, Suggested: by William Blacker. This political-economic tract surveys how wealth is produced by agriculture, manufacturing, and commerce, arguing agriculture as the indispensable foundation of national prosperity. Blacker traces the evolution of wealth from subsistence to capital, describes the interactions among the three classes, and demonstrates how rents, credit, and capital accumulation drive growth. Addressing Great Britain and Ireland, the author critiques Corn Laws, Bank charter, and the malt tax, and proposes remedies including allotting waste lands for permanent employment, a fixed tariff on foreign grain, a return to metallic currency with 20s notes, and a network of joint-stock banks. He also advocates education and temperance as social supports. The work blends economic theory, policy proposals, and practical schemes to relieve distress and promote national wealth.
