A somewhat eccentric book on Victorian rural economics, but with attitudes that will resonate with the modern British reader, in which the author largely blames the depression of farming in the late Victorian age on the attitude of the then privately- owned railway companies and the rise of capitalism. A useful book for the sociology/economics student and those who love the stranger aspects of railway history.
