About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - History's revolutions rarely begin with ideology alone-they start with hunger, debt, and despair. This book explores the deep economic causes behind political upheavals across centuries, from the bread riots of pre revolutionary France to the unemployment crises that reshaped nations in the 20th and 21st centuries. 'Bread, Jobs and Riots' uncovers how collapsing wages, rising prices, and lost livelihoods create the pressure points that push ordinary citizens toward extraordinary acts. Drawing from archival evidence, eyewitness accounts, and modern economic analysis, it reveals the emotional and material triggers that turn financial stress into collective action. The book situates today's social unrest within a long pattern of imbalance between wealth and survival, showing that political stability often depends less on ideology than on a full stomach and fair opportunity.

About this title

Synopsis

History’s revolutions rarely begin with ideology alone—they start with hunger, debt, and despair. This book explores the deep economic causes behind political upheavals across centuries, from the bread riots of pre‑revolutionary France to the unemployment crises that reshaped nations in the 20th and 21st centuries. "Bread, Jobs and Riots" uncovers how collapsing wages, rising prices, and lost livelihoods create the pressure points that push ordinary citizens toward extraordinary acts. Drawing from archival evidence, eyewitness accounts, and modern economic analysis, it reveals the emotional and material triggers that turn financial stress into collective action. The book situates today’s social unrest within a long pattern of imbalance between wealth and survival, showing that political stability often depends less on ideology than on a full stomach and fair opportunity.
