It has consistently championed and conveyed a form of ‘humanitarian political economy’ to its weekly, global audience of professionals and business and government leaders. The Economist began in 1843 to campaign for free trade in agriculture and to advocate for the emerging regime of capitalism in Britain. Its primary concern during its first two decades centered on agricultural change. This thesis examines those first two decades, from 1843-1863, and The Economist ’s focus on ‘improvement’, or capitalist development, in the English countryside. The Economist was a staunch advocate for increased urbanization, private property, and ‘high agriculture’ – a modern system of agriculture that involved scientific techniques, free trade, large landholdings, and significant amounts of capital. It vehemently opposed any attempts to alleviate rural poverty using measures it felt were inconsistent with the principles of political economy and argued rural labourers would be better off if they were forced to sell their labour and submit to the discipline of the market. The Economist repeatedly portrayed this process of capitalist development as beneficial for all and as a natural occurrence, brought about through the free working of the market. Its account contributed to the prominent idea of the ‘success’ of British agriculture in the 19 th century; an idea that has had profound effects on subsequent notions of development. This thesis uses Marxist and Foucauldian concepts to demonstrate that the process of capitalist development in the countryside was not brought about through market forces. Extensive and often oppressive government intervention was needed to dispossess people from the land and to force them into waged labour. Though much of this dispossession had occurred by the 19 th century, The Economist performed a crucial role in advocating for policies that cemented capitalist relations of production. The Economist ’s most important ii function was to spread belief in capitalism by making its inequality and poverty more palatable. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My deepest appreciation goes to my supervisor, Dr. Jim Handy, for his guidance, patience and support. I am grateful to Dr. Handy for drawing my attention to this topic, for discussing and sharing ideas with me, and offering invaluable suggestions that have shaped this thesis. I am greatly indebted to him for my academic formation, both at the undergraduate and graduate level. Dr. Handy’s classes and areas of research were always thought-provoking and his commitment to social justice always inspiring. He instilled confidence, encouraged me to challenge the norm and to imagine other possibilities. His influence in my life will carry on long after I graduate. This thesis benefitted from the encouragement and advice of my committee members Dr. Christopher Kent and Dr. Simonne Horwitz. Thank you for your careful reading of my thesis, for your thoughtful questions and valuable suggestions. Thank you also to my external examiner, Dr. Douglas Thorpe, (from the Department of English) for your recommendations. I appreciate the institutional and financial support provided by the Department of History at the University of Saskatchewan which generously awarded me a Master’s Graduate Scholarship.

Irish News, 4 February 1997. 4. The designation of the event is contested; some nationalists find the use of the word ‘famine’ offensive and inappropriate given the large amounts of food exported from Ireland.

  • AGRICULTURAL RENT in the EARLY VICTORIAN ERA By
    AGRICULTURAL RENT IN THE EARLY VICTORIAN ERA by Stephen Peplow A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Integrated Studies in Land and Food Systems) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2012 © Stephen Peplow, 2012 Abstract This thesis concerns the economic and political relationship between the English tenant farmer, his landowner, and his Member of Parliament during the period between 1830 and 1865. Profound social and economic changes took place in agriculture during this time, notably the enfranchisement of the tenant farmer (1832), the Repeal of the Corn Laws (1846), and the development of the railways from 1832 onwards. The tenant farmer was an important actor in all three changes, but his role has been overlooked. This thesis brings him into focus in three chapters, each dealing with the tenant-farmer within the rural economy. Chapter 1 introduces the research project, makes a clear statement of the goals of the research, and reviews some of the recent literature. Chapter 2 deals with the ways in which agricultural rents were set in the 1830s and estimates agricultural rents from two centuries ago, using observations for nearly six hundred parishes in the southwest of England. The finding is that rents were set closely with Ricardian Rent Theory. Chapter 3 measures the impact on agricultural rents of railway development. The railways were laid from 1832 onwards, and farmers used the railways to take their stock to market. This saved large amounts of money, primarily from reduced loss of condition compared to droving to market.

  • Harvesting Power: Transatlantic Merchants and the Anglo-American Grain Trade, 1795-1890
    Harvesting Power: Transatlantic Merchants and the Anglo-American Grain Trade, 1795-1890 Thomas David Finger Flagstaff, Arizona Bachelor of Arts, State University of New York at Binghamton, 2003 Master of Arts, University of Arizona, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May, 2015 1 “Harvesting Power” Thomas D. Finger Harvesting Power: Transatlantic Merchants and the Anglo-American Grain Trade, 1795-1890 Thomas D. Finger Abstract Between 1795 and 1889, the Anglo-American grain trade grew to provide Great Britain with most of its food imports. At first, bottlenecks in transportation and markets limited trade. Between the 1820s and 1870s, merchants built infrastructure by mobilizing business associations, capital, technology, and nature. British and American merchants invested in American transportation and participated in free trade debates during the 1840s. Following the repeal of the British Corn Laws in 1846, American and British merchants stitched together regional markets to send American wheat to Britain. By the 1870s, three key American regions supplied Britain with grain: the Great Lakes Corridor, California, and the Spring Wheat Region of the northern plains. In the late 1870s, American exports increased as British crops failed. Between 1875 and 1890, American wheat exports rose further as British merchants invested in American milling and transportation. By 1890, the American and British wheat markets converged. This convergence encouraged large commercial agriculture in the United States and a reliance on imports to feed industrial Great Britain. 2 “Harvesting Power” Thomas D.
