In this book, which was first published in 1927, Dampier-Whetham provides a discussion of agricultural policy and how it is created. The text also gives a critical account of the many proposals made for rural reconstruction and development around the time of publication. It is divided into three main parts: 'British Agriculture'; 'The Land and its Owners'; and 'The Future of Rural England'. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in British rural history, agricultural development and economic history.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e The land\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
