QUESTION :

How did the scrapping of corn law transform the economy of britain?

ANSWER:


=>After scrapping of the ‘Corn Laws’, food could be imported into Britain more cheaply than it could be produced within the country. So, Britain began to import food grains from the rest of the world.

=> Around the world, especially in Eastern Europe, Russia, America and Australia, lands were cleared and food production expanded to meet the British demand.

=> There had been complex changes in labour movement patterns, capital flow, ecology and technology.

=> Crops were not grown by a peasant tilling his own land but by an agricultural worker. Food came from thousands of miles away.

=> Food and other essential commodities were transported by railways and by ships manned by low paid workers from Southern Europe, Asia, Africa and Caribbean islands.
