Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land Labour This book is written in the h0pe of contributing to the solution of the problem of poverty in Britain by throwing some light on its relation to the system of land tenure. With this end in view I set to work to ascertain the connection between social conditions and the method of holding land in several other European countries, and researches Were begun in France, Switzerland, and Belgium. But I soon found that such a task Would carry me far beyond the limits of the single volume I contemplated, since my initial question could not be answered Without intimate knowledge of all the factors that had any bearing upon it. I decided, therefore, for the present, to con centrate on Belgium, a country Whose experience is full of interest, and this book contains the results of four years' close study of all the main aspects of her social and economic life. After a brief description of Belgium and her people, the history of her system of land tenure is considered, and the system itself is described in some detail. An enquiry was made into the number of landowners and the size of their holdings. The undertaking was laborious, but quite essential to a right understanding of the problem, and I believe that there is no other country in Europe for Which similar statistics are available. Figures, also based on a special investigation, are given to show the extent of the mortgage debts of peasant proprietors. In the next section, dealing with industrial questions, the wages paid in the principal industries of Belgium and the hours and conditions of work are considered. To obtain information that was up to date, another special enquiry was made, Which showed that wages in Belgium are extraordinarily low. The reasons for this are discussed in detail, since before we can hope to raise wages we must understand the factors Which govern them, and the study of these in Belgium may help us in Great Britain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land, Labor and Liquor: A Chapter in the Political Economy of the Present Day In the pages of this volume a long-felt want has been supplied. The opponents of Temperance Reform have often questioned the figures and statistics of the evil trade in Canada, given by temperance men as being of doubtful accuracy, owing to the differences in the estimates made by different speakers. We have now, in this volume, carefully prepared and most complete statements and arrays of facts and figures which can be utilised as a basis for the future. In many ways in addition to this, the volume commends itself to the public in this age of quickened interest in Temperance work. The thoughtful and massive presentation of facts showing the wasteful character of the. Liquor Manufacture, its small employment of labor and its immense injury to both the tradesman and the laborer, from an economical point of view, will help to convince many a fair mind as to the blessings that would result to this country were the whole liquor traffic banished from our soil - may God grant it soon, - but more for the sake of the dear flesh and blood wasted than for any money that would be saved.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land Question Solved No doubt the diverse interests in the Labour movement demand attention to many different phases of the social question, but I feel strongly that if we could concentrate our energies for the next year or two on securing possession of the land it would prove the wisest and most effective thing we could do. It would not only bring immense direct advantages, but would open the door to many other reforms that are long overdue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Black and White: Land, Labor, and Politics in the South IN discussing the political and industrial problems of the South, I base my conclusions upon a personal knowledge of the condition of classes in the South, as Well as upon the ample data furnished by writers who have pursued, in their way, the question before me. That the colored people of the country will yet achieve an honorable status in the national indus tries of thought and activity, I believe, and try to make plain. In the discussion of the land and labor problem I but pursue the theories advocated by more able and experienced men, in the attempt to show that the laboring classes of any country pay all the taxes, in the last analysis, and that they are systematically victimized by legislators, corporations and syndicates.

Equality of political rights will not compensate for the denial of the equal right to the haunty of nature. Political liberty when the equal right to tanzt is denied, becomes, as popula tion increases and invention goes on, merely the liberty to compete for employment at starvation wages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land, Labor and Gold; Or, Two Years in Victoria, Vol. 1 of 2: With Visits to Sydney and Van Diemen's Land My object in the following work has been to place the reader, as much as possible, in my own position whilst collecting the material for it. To let him see, feel, and draw his conclusions, as far as I could enable him, as fully and fairly as I did myself. I found myself in one of the most noble dependencies of England, - in a country which one day must become a great and populous one, and that at a crisis unexampled in history, - new, strange and without an exact precedent. I saw that the position into which I had thus stepped created a great national duty; and I determined to discharge it faithfully. As I had no interest in the questions involved, - except such as are the interests of every British subject, - and no purpose to serve but a patriotic one, I resolved to state simply, fully, and without fear or favor, what fell under my notice.

Download or read book Land Labour and Diet in Northern Rhodesia written by Audrey Isabel Richards and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 1995 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reprint of a study by Dr. Audrey Richards (1899-1984) describes the living conditions of the Bemba of North-Eastern Rhodesia, with special reference to the effects of migrant labour on the social and economic life of a mainly agricultural society. Although primarily concerned with the production, distribution, and consumption of food, and with conditions of labour and standards of living, the book gives a vivid picture of the social structure of the Bemba - their political organisation and the functions of the chief, systems of land-tenure, kinship groupings, and the whole complex of economic, social, and magico-religious factors which arise in any community. The book has been widely recognised as an authoritative study particularly among economists and anthropologists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor, Land and Law: A Search for the Missing Wealth of the Working Poor This reasoning was, of course, entirely conclusive to the monarch, who was undoubtedly the confederate of the farmer of imposts, but, as human' endurance can only be stretched to certain limits, it was agreed between them that a fair price for the wind, at that date, would be ten times what was originally paid for it. This amount was finally raised by a long - suffering people, who merely exacted a promise from the commercial monarch that he would never sell the wind again, but permit it in God's providence to blow over them free and unrestricted as of yore.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land and Labour in a Deccan Village: Study No; 2 But very little to the east of the village which formed the basis Of our former study, the country changes so far as climate is concerned. The total rainfall rapidly becomes different. While a few miles to the west of Poona we are in an area considered as fairly safe from famine, a few miles to the east we reach a part of the country where the uncertainty of the rain is great, and where famine is frequent. Generally speaking the soil is deeper and heavier and is considered more fertile in the latter districts, but it is possible to select a village which will reproduce the condition Of the western area fairly closely in the matter of soil, and in which the effect of the change of climate can be closely studied in the character Of the cultivation.
