Britain Too:
Recently I ran across a review written by Henry Heller of a book about the history of poverty in Britain: from feudalism to neoliberal capitalism. The review was also published in Popular Resistance.
The writer of the book is Jim Silver, a professor emeritus from the University of Winnipeg in Canada. The book is Scoundrels and Shirkers: Capitalism and Poverty in Britain. The book was just published (May 2023). I will be getting a copy and reading it ASAP!

An image from the Tudor/Elizabethan Age - The Payment of the Tithes by Pieter Brueghel the Younger (or his workshop). I think I know some of these people! (Image is from wikipedia. Click on the image to get the link.)
