About This Book

A single volume brings together three didactic pieces that blend narrative scenes and analytical commentary to illustrate economic principles. The first depicts a community coping with a factory wage dispute, tracing household hardship, collective responses, and local organizing. The second examines private benevolence and parish relief through a household-centered narrative that probes motives, administration, and unintended consequences. The third surveys economic conditions in Ireland, considering liabilities, land and labor relations, and social outcomes to show how policy, institutions, and everyday practices interact in shaping prosperity and distress.

Transcriber’s Note:

The volume is a collection of three (apparently) already published texts, each with its own title page, table of contents, and pagination. The table of contents for all three is repeated at the opening of the volume. All chapters are linked from the ‘master’ table, but not from the redundant tables in the second and third texts.

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.

The image of the blank front cover has been cleaned up and enhanced with basic data from the title page, and, so modified, is placed in the public domain.

Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.

Any are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
