Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical causes of poverty in the UK, from the policies implemented in the sixteenth century to the impact of the Industrial Revolution and ongoing modernization efforts. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the cyclical surge and recession of unemployment in the UK and how it has influenced social movements like the fight for the repeal of the Corn Laws during the "Hungry Forties." The author draws surprising parallels between the late nineteenth century and the challenges of the early twenty-first century, asserting that lack of government action to alleviate unemployment has devastating long-term impacts on the nation's physical, psychological, and economic health.
