Publisher's Synopsis
The Farmers in Politics is a book written by William Irvine and first published in 1920. The book is a critical analysis of the role of farmers in politics, particularly in the United States and Canada. Irvine, a Scottish-born farmer and politician, argues that farmers have been historically marginalized and excluded from political power, despite being a crucial part of the economy and society. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between farmers and politics. Irvine discusses the history of agrarian movements and the struggles of farmers to gain political representation. He also examines the role of political parties and the influence of big business on agriculture. Throughout the book, Irvine advocates for greater political power for farmers and a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources. He argues that farmers must organize and mobilize in order to achieve these goals. The Farmers in Politics is a seminal work in the history of agrarian politics and remains relevant to contemporary debates about the role of farmers in society. The book is written in a clear and accessible style and is suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the intersection of agriculture and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
