Introduction. BY H. J. MASSINGHAM. MR JORIAN JENKS has the best possible qualifications for the formidable task he has set himself of exposing the pretensions of a false economics, based on the abstractions of money and the machine, and outlining the regenerative potential of Real Economy. For eight years he was a working farmer, tending his own stock, sowing his own corn, harnessing and driving his own horses and working side by side with his own men. In fact, he inherited the timeless economy of mixed husbandry as practised by the yeoman given official status in freehold, franchise, and freedom by an Act of 1430. In 1700, the yeoman numbered one-eighth of the population, breasting every social, political, and economic vicissitude up to the conquest of rural England in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He was celebrated in history and literature by Chancer, Holinshed, Harrison, Sir Thomas Overbury, Sir John Fortescue, the Robin Hood Ballads, Drayton, Fielding, Gilbert White, Collins, Cobbett, Wordsworth, John Clare, Richard Jefferies, Mary Mitford, Bewick, Crabbe the Younger, Scawen Blunt, George Eliot, Tennyson, William Barnes, and others. He was the ancestor of Shakespeare and wrote his own autobiography in such works as the I64I Farming BokeofHenry Best. Mr Jcnks was once himself a small yeoman, a member of that rural middle class that formed the first storey of the national building, broadly based from the plinth of the peasantry and firm to uphold the aristocratic and mercantile superstructure. But as the Industrial Revolution and its consequences finally demolished the yeoman freeholder, so Mr J enks was forced out of his vocation by the economic blizzard of the nineteen thirties. The practitioner of rural economy became the critic of modern economics, well known among the small resistance minority to its catastrophic repercussions. Now by this book time has had its revenges. <strong>...</strong></p>Jenks Jorian - The land and the peopleurn:md5:21c6fd8c59ad6d315f29fe168df1e49f2014-05-11T12:52:00+01:002014-05-11T12:52:00+01:00balderJenks JorianAgricultureConspiracyEnglandFascismJew <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Jenks_Jorian_-_The_land_and_the_people.jpg" alt="" /><br />

For at least sixty years Britain's agriculture has been going downhill. Since 1870, when the flood of imports first assumed formidable dimensions, we have lost no less than 6 million acres of ploughland, including 4 million acres of cereals. By no means the whole of this land has been converted into useful pasture, nor can increments in live-stock be said to compensate for the loss. Our sheep are actually fewer by 3 millions, and increases in cattle, pigs and poultry are more than offset by heavy imports of feedingstuffs. This tragic decline is not due to natural causes. Our land and our climate are still among the best in the world ; our agriculturists of all classes rank equally high ; and we can yet show some excellent examples of intensive farming. The blight which hangs over the countryside is the blight of persistent and deliberate neglect on the part of those responsible for our economic policy. No nation has a greater need of a productive agriculture ; no nation has made less effort to achieve it. The excuses advanced for this deplorable attitude are palpaple distortions of fact. Thus there is the glib statement that "we cannot feed ourselves," though no serious effort has yet been made to develop the full productivity of our soil, which expert opinion puts at fully double its present output. Again, it is said that people "cannot afford" to pay a fair price for their food, as if the poverty of consumers were the responsibility of producers. Actually the"cheap food" talk comes from vote hunting politicians rather than from the general public. And finally there is the extraordinary assumption that we can live only by selling manufactured goods to the rest of the world in exchange for its surplus foodstuffs, a dangerous assumption indeed at a time when there is a world-wide trend towards self-sufficiency. The plain truth underlying these specious excuses is that money invested in foreign-trade and international finance exercises a dominating influence over politics. Those who would benefit from a regeneration of our agriculture far outnumber those who derive profit from the international money-system. But because the latter have financial power, and therefore political influence, their interests are given priority. To such depths has " democracy " fallen. Agriculture has been sacrificed ; not because " farming doesn't pay," but because its activities might interfere with the flow of tribute to Mammon. <strong>...</strong></p>
