Publisher's Synopsis
""Irish Land and Irish Liberty"" is a historical study written by Michael John Fitzgerald McCarthy in 1914. The book examines the political and economic situation in Ireland during the early 20th century, focusing on the ownership and management of land by a new class of landlords. McCarthy argues that this system of land ownership, which emerged after the Great Famine of the 1840s, had created a situation where a small group of wealthy individuals held immense power over the Irish people. He also explores the ways in which this system had been maintained and reinforced by the British government, which had historically favored the interests of the landed classes. Throughout the book, McCarthy makes a case for the importance of land reform as a means of achieving greater social and economic equality in Ireland. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Ireland, particularly the struggle for land reform and the role of the landed classes in Irish society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
