Sinossi

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.

    Bernard Goldberg takes dead aim at the America Bashers (the cultural elites who look down their snobby noses at ""ordinary"" Americans and detest so much of what this country is about)...the Hollywood Blowhards (incredibly ditzy celebrities who think they're smart just because they're famous)...the TV Schlockmeisters (including the one whose show has been compared to a churning mass of maggots devouring rotten meat)...the Intellectual Thugs (big-wigs at some of our best colleges, whose views run the gamut from left-wing to far left-wing)...and many more. 
    Goldberg names names, profiling the villains in his rogues' gallery, one by one, from 100 down to 1 -- and yes, you-know-who is #37. But Goldberg doesn't just round up the usual suspects we have come to know and detest. He also exposes some of the people who operate away from the limelight but still manage to pull a lot of strings and do all sorts of harm to our culture. 
    100 People Who Are Screwing Up America is about a country where as long as anything goes, sooner or later everything will go.

    Dr. v. Oefele states of pharmacy before the time of Hippocrates, that although the practice of medicine was not separated from pharmacy among the Greeks and Romans, there was such a separation among the ancient Egyptians, from whom the distinction was handed down to the Copts, and by them to the Arabians; and, in fact, that the term pharmacist is probably of Egyptian origin, being derived from Ph-ar-maki, which signifies the preparation of medicine from drugs. The Egyptian pharmaki who were engaged in that occupation belonged to the higher social ranks of writers or academically-educated persons, comprising also the priests, physicians, statesmen, and military commanders. The Jews were indebted to Egypt for their primary ideas of medicine, but they cast away the ideas of demonology and magic which clouded what was good in the practice of Egypt. The Talmud recommends onions for worms, and wine, pepper, and asafœtida for flatulency. The Talmudists are responsible for calling the earth, air, fire, and water elementary bodies. In the middle ages the Jews rendered service to the healing art, and had a large share in the scientific work connected with the Arab domination of Spain. In China the use of drugs goes back to a very remote age, and alchemy was practised by the Chinese long previous to its being known in Europe. For two centuries prior to the Christian era, and for four or more subsequent, the transmutation of the base metals into gold, and the composition of the elixir of immortality, were questions ardently studied by the Chinese.
