Excerpt from Economic Notes on English Agricultural Wages In this little book I have tried to answer the question, whether it is possible to raise agricultural wages in England, without the advantages of the change being outweighed by disadvantageous consequences. More particularly, the argument is concerned with the policy of establishing minimum agricultural wage-rates by law. I have made no attempt in the following pages to gauge the poverty of the farm labourer or to estimate the distresses of his lot, except, indeed, in so far as a consideration of these things is essential to the economic argument. My reason for thus limiting the inquiry is a simple one. I believe that a demonstration of the possibility of improvement is a sufficient reason for action, without the sentimental appeal provided by a tale of horror. Though my book is small, I am heavily in debt over it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The article forms three series for English farm workers from 1209-1869: nominal day wages, the implied marginal product of a day of farm labour, and the purchasing power of a days wage in terms of farm workers consumption. These series suggest that labour productivity in English agriculture was already high in the middle ages. Furthermore, they fit well with one method of estimating medieval population that suggests a peak English population c.1300 of nearly 6 million. Lastly, they imply that both agricultural technology and the general efficiency of the economy were static from 1250 till 1600. Economic changes were in these years entirely a product of demographic shifts. From 1600 to 1800, technological advance in agriculture provided an alternative source of dynamism in the English economy.
