Sinopsis

Corn Law Battles explores the tumultuous political and economic landscape of 19th-century Britain, centering on the controversial Corn Laws. These laws, designed to protect domestic agricultural interests through tariffs on imported grain, ignited fierce debates between the landed aristocracy and the rising industrial bourgeoisie.

 
The book argues that the repeal of the Corn Laws, often seen as a victory for free trade, was a complex process deeply intertwined with class conflict and the demands of industrial expansion. Examining the impact on grain prices, wages, and profits, the book reveals how these laws fueled social unrest and the formation of movements like the Anti-Corn Law League.

 
The book challenges simplistic views of economic history by showcasing how power dynamics and unforeseen outcomes molded economic policy. It investigates the historical context, key players, and economic arguments surrounding the Corn Laws, drawing from parliamentary debates, pamphlets, and statistical data.

 
Progressing through the origins and evolution of the laws, the book dissects the class dynamics, the Anti-Corn Law League's strategies, and the repeal's short and long-term impacts on British society.

 
Ultimately, Corn Law Battles provides a nuanced understanding of the Corn Laws' legacy and their relevance to contemporary discussions on trade, protectionism, and globalization.

Survival of the Virtuous - The...

Dennis L. Krebs

Do good guys finish last? Did we evolve to look out for number one? Are we bad by nature? At first glance, the theory of evolution seems to imply that all organisms are evolved to be selfish. 
 
 
 
In this book, evolutionary psychologist Dennis Krebs explains how virtuous behaviors such as altruism, justice, honesty, loyalty, self-control, purity, and respect for authority, have evolved in humans and other species. He argues that the key to solving puzzles of morality—such as what it is, how we acquire moral traits, why we sometimes behave badly, and how we make moral decisions—lies in figuring out what adaptive functions moral traits served in early human environments and how they are influenced by social learning, culture, and strategic social interactions in the modern world. Arguing that the primary function of virtuous behaviors is to enable individuals to advance their own interests and examining the moral decision-making mechanisms that evolved to serve these functions, this book considers the "new brain" mechanisms that are unique to humans and "old brain" mechanisms that we share with other species, illuminating how these work in conjunction with each other to guide our moral choices.
