Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling argument in favour of the reestablishment of the repealed Corn Laws. The author provides a detailed historical overview of the legislation and explores the origins of the Corn Laws, explaining their evolution from medieval times through to their repeal i…n 1846. However, the book's main focus is an analysis of the consequences of the Corn Laws' repeal and the impact it has had on the subsequent organisation of society and the agriculture industry. The author makes the case that a system of protectionist legislation is necessary to prevent the decline of domestic agriculture and provide long-term security of supply, stability and fairness to all in society. The author goes on to present a detailed plan for a new system of Corn Laws that he believes will address the problems created by the repeal of the previous system.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a ground-breaking investigation into the machinations of power in the courts of Europe and explores the consequences of leaving government business to the delegated few, rather than the ruler. Concentrating on the relationship between the monarch and the minister, th…e author encapsulates the many symbiotic and parasitical ways in which each party interacts with the other. Not simply a study of historical monarchs and ministers, the author places the analysis within a broader philosophical framework which explores the nature of power, corruption, and the state's relationship with its people. The author concludes that the quest for power is an insatiable one, and that the actions of ministers are often in direct opposition to the interests of the people they are supposed to represent. Even more darkly, the author concludes that the cycle of corruption is one from which there is no escape, resulting in the erosion of the spirit of the people and the subversion of their freedoms.
