Jorian Jenks
Jorian Jenks has the best possible qualifications for the formidable task he has set himself of exposing the pretensions of a false economics, based on the abstractions of money and the machine, and outlining the regenerative potential of Real Economy. For eight years he was a working farmer, tending his own stock, sowing his own corn, harnessing and driving his own horses and working side by side with his own men. In fact, he inherited the timeless economy of mixed husbandry as practised by the yeoman given official status in freehold, franchise, and freedom by an Act of 1430. In 1700, the yeoman numbered one-eighth of the population, breasting every social, political, and economic vicissitude up to the conquest of rural England in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
