Over recent centuries England was increasingly occupied by landed estates run by locally dominant and nationally influential owners. Historically, newcomers adopted the behaviour of existing landowners, all of whom presided over a relatively impoverished mass of rural inhabitants. Preferences for privacy and fine views led landowners to demolish or remove some whole villages. Alongside extensive landscape remodelling, rights-of-way were often privatised, imposing a cost on the economy. Social and environmental implications of the landed system as a whole are discussed and particular attention is paid to the nineteenth-century investment of industrial profits in estates. Why was the system so attractive and how was it perpetuated? Matters of poverty and inequality have always been of perennial interest to scholars of many persuasions and to the educated public; with this important book surveying environmental concerns in addition. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Economic History,$x2662-6500 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aAgricultural Economics 606 $aEnvironmental Economics 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 676 $a333.30941 700 $aJones$b Eric L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0499702 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299365503321 996 $aLanded Estates and Rural Inequality in English History$92520453 997 $aUNINA
