Synopsis
This book delves into the living conditions, poverty, and exploitation of agricultural labourers in Edwardian Britain. It examines the decline in rural living standards, increase in rural depopulation, and the reasons for the extreme poverty that was endemic within rural communities. The author argues that the industrial revolution in Britain and America created an unbalanced civilisation by destroying a healthy relationship between rural and urban populations. The book calls for a minimum wage and other reforms to address the rural poverty, which the author argues, is a drag on the health of the nation and its people. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of rural Britain, labour movements, the agricultural revolution, labour and social reform, and poverty in the early 20th century.
