Viscount Astor & B. Seebohm Rowntree - British Agriculture: The Principles of Future Policy Authors: Viscount Astor and B.

Square boards and tight binding. Original cloth binding remains sound and well preserved with only light general wear. Sunning to the spine. Internally clean and well maintained. Description An important pre-war study of British agricultural policy by Viscount Astor and the noted social reformer and industrialist B. Seebohm Rowntree. Published in 1938 on the eve of the Second World War, this substantial work examines the future of British farming, land use, rural economics, and national agricultural planning. The book reflects growing interwar concerns regarding food security, rural decline, and economic self-sufficiency, issues that would become increasingly significant during wartime Britain. Combining economic analysis with policy recommendations, it remains an important document in the history of British agriculture and rural reform. Bound in the publisher's original cloth binding, this is a particularly solid example with square boards, tight binding, and clean internal pages.
