Descrição do livro

"The Westminster Review"presents a survey of an 1870 essay from the Westminster Foreign Quarterly Review arguing that England’s shift from many small freeholds to a few large estates and enclosure has caused social and economic harm, including pauperism, degraded agricultural labor, rising crime, and a heavier tax burden on urban workers. Drawing on international comparisons, the piece argues that land should be treated as a national resource to be managed for the public good rather than private possession. The proposed remedy centers on Crown reclamation and secure, long-term leasing of lands in blocks of 10–200 acres for 30 years, with the increased value of land shared at each renewal to reward improvements and enable smallholders to cultivate holdings. The discussion also weighs and rejects alternatives such as abolition of primogeniture or wholesale government purchases. The work situates these policy debates within historical, comparative, and political-economy analysis, aiming to convince readers that a Crown-led peasant-proprietorship would better align land use with national welfare and social stability.
