Listen "How the Corn Laws Built England with J. Burden"
Episode Synopsis
This was an interview of Will originally conducted by J. Burden; given its relevance to this podcast, Mr. Burden has been gracious enough to let me republish it for The Old World. In this show, J. Burden and Will Tanner discuss how agricultural protection laws called the Corn Laws built the prosperous England that existed before the Great War. They focus on how the laws enabled legacy-minded landowners to invest in the countryside, create the conditions that led to the Industrial Revolution, and serve the empire rather than toil at work. They also discuss how the free trade ideology destroyed that social structure, and what the consequences of that destruction were.
