In the midst of rapid urbanization and industrialization, retail competition intensified and the channels by which food made it to the market became vital to the country's economic success. Illustrating the pivotal importance of food distribution in Britain between 1830 and 1914, The Social Cost of Cheap Food argues that labour exploitation in the distribution system was the key to cheap food. Through an analysis of labour dynamics and institutional changes in the distributive sector, Sébastien Rioux demonstrates that economic development and the rising living standards of the working class were premised upon the growing insecurity and chronic poverty of street sellers, shop assistants, and small shopkeepers. Rioux reveals that food distribution, far from being a passive sphere of economic activity, provided a dynamic space for the reduction of food prices. Positing food distribution as a core element of social and economic development under capitalism, The Social Cost of Cheap Food reflects on the transformation of the labour market and its intricate connection to the history of food and society."--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (JSTOR, viewed on October 23, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1800-1999|2fast 650 0 Food industry and trade|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2008120949|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 Food industry and trade|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2008120949|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Labor|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009128212|xHistory|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 Labor|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009128212|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 7 Food industry and trade.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/930843 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Labor.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/989798 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aRioux, Sébastien, 1980-|tSocial cost of cheap food.|dMontreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, [2019]|z9780773558991 |w(OCoLC)1096470204 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2255703|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
