This book is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS series. The creators of
this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the
intention of making all public domain books available in printed
format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book
never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature
projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work,
tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As
a reader of a TREDITION CLASSICS book, you support our mission to
save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.
During the Great Famine in Ireland (1846-1852), William T. Thornton
(1813-1880), an English economist, proposed that unused land be
purchased by the government and sold on credit to families that
would put it into production. In this way funds spent on famine
relief would be turned from an expenditure into an investment, jobs
would be created, and the benefits of widespread capital ownership
would accrue to individuals, families and the nation. Although
never adopted, later thinkers, offering a principled,
growth-oriented approach for the 21st Century, refined Thornton's
vision. As the global economy experiences ever-more-frequent
downturns (with accelerating replacement of human labor by advanced
technology, reinforced by flawed methods of finance that
concentrate capital ownership in fewer and fewer hands) Thornton's
book shines light on the path out of today's global dilemma.
Originally published in 1848, this newly annotated and indexed
edition of A Plea for Peasant Proprietors was prepared from
Thornton's 1874 revision includes a foreword that examines a new
framework for solving the global financial crisis, financing
economic growth and enabling every citizen to become an owner of
productive capital, as well as appendices explaining topical
references and the political and economic environment within which
Thornton worked.
