Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for Poor Labouring Men: Shewing That by the County Court Practice They Are Led Into Debt, and Compelled to Pay Debts by a Process of Extortion and Oppression Most Prolonged and Harmful, and Also Unjust Because Such Process Is Used Against Poor Men Only Bankruptcy and composition are not the remedies that can be applied to the indebtedness of a poor man. The beginning of indebtedness should be made impossible, or at the least rendered less easy for him, for he cannot afford any after or later remedies. The cause and the beginning of indebtedness is the credit given by the shopkeepers, and the life of the credit system is the payment by instalments out of future earnings enforced by the County Court. If the law was that the value of the present goods of the poor man was the extent of the remedy of his creditors, and the only available asset for payment of his debts, the shopkeeper would not trust him near so much and the debtor, if he could not defer the day of payment by the system of instalments, but found his goods forthwith seized for the Whole amount of his debt, would not dare to ask for or take the shopkeeper's goods, unless he paid for them in ready money. Both would be in their several interests intent on one object, and that would be the diminution and discontinuance of debt, credit, and large accounts, and the volume of indebtedness by poor men would be infinitely less. The only judgment for debt allowed to be recorded, should be that the debt be immediately, or within one month, paid in one sum. Neither the creditor, the debtor, nor the Court should have power to obtain, give, or suffer a judgment for payment by instalments, or for deferred payment; nor should the Court be allowed to receive any part or instalment of the debt, but only the whole at one single payment. The poor man would thus be brought to regard a County Court debt not as an evil to be always with him, but as an impost or assessment, like a fine by the magistrates, which he must discharge at once.

Download or read book Crying Out for Change written by Deepa Narayan-Parker and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-country research initiative to understand poverty from the eyes of the poor, the Voices of the Poor project was undertaken to inform the World Bank's activities and the upcoming World Development Report 2000/01. The research findings are being published in three books: "Can Anyone Hear Us?" gathers the voices of over 40,000 poor women and men in 50 countries from the World Bank's participatory poverty assessments (Deepa Narayan, Raj Patel, Kai Schafft, Anne Rademacher, and Sarah Koch-Schulte, authors). "Crying Out for Change" pulls together new field work conducted in 1999 in 23 countries (Deepa Narayan, Robert Chambers, Meera Shah, and Patti Petesch, authors). "From Many Lands" offers regional patterns and country case-studies (Deepa Narayan and Patti Petesch, editors). Voices of the Poor marks the first time such an exercise has been undertaken in so many developing countries and transition economies around the world. It provides a unique and detailed picture of the life of the poor and explains the constraints poor people face to escape from poverty in a way that more traditional survey techniques do not capture well. Each of the three volumes demonstrates the importance of voice and power in poor people's definition of poverty. Voices of the Poor concludes that we need to expand our conventional views of poverty which focus on income expenditure, education, and health to include measures of voice and empowerment.
Download or read book The History and Present State of Virginia written by Robert Beverley and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While in London in 1705, Robert Beverley wrote and published The History and Present State of Virginia, one of the earliest printed English-language histories about North America by an author born there. Like his brother-in-law William Byrd II, Beverley was a scion of Virginia's planter elite, personally ambitious and at odds with royal governors in the colony. As a native-born American--most famously claiming "I am an Indian--he provided English readers with the first thoroughgoing account of the province's past, natural history, Indians, and current politics and society. In this new edition, Susan Scott Parrish situates Beverley and his History in the context of the metropolitan-provincial political and cultural issues of his day and explores the many contradictions embedded in his narrative. Parrish's introduction and the accompanying annotation, along with a fresh transcription of the 1705 publication and a more comprehensive comparison of emendations in the 1722 edition, will open Beverley's History to new, twenty-first-century readings by students of transatlantic history, colonialism, natural science, literature, and ethnohistory.
